Rome Memorial is the first hospital within Syracuse, N.Y.-based St. Joseph’s Health system to implement the new tech.
For remote examinations, a nurse at the hospital who is with the patient video calls the physician so they can see the patient. The nurse then can place the Bluetooth stethoscope on the patient so the physician can monitor their heartbeat. The device can also record the patient’s heartbeat so the physician can review it later.
