Advancing Point-of-Care Still's Murmur Identification: Evaluating the Efficacy of ConvNets and Transformers Using the StethAid Multicenter Heart Sound Database
The proposed Still's murmur solution can assist PCPs in recognizing Still's murmur from other heart murmurs, potentially reducing unnecessary specialty referrals and the use of echocardiography. Additionally, StethAid could enhance PCPs' auscultation skills for Still's murmur by providing instant feedback, a feature often lacking in current clinical workflows.
