Do I need a stethoscope to learn with Medu?

No. In the app you will find the real-patients recording, which will play directly from your smartphone. Keep in mind that the best sound quality will be provided by listening the recording through headphones - this way you will easily recognise respiratory sounds.

Where do the recordings included in the course come from?

All recordings included in the course are recorded using our partner’s - StethoMe - intelligent stethoscope. All respiratory sounds were analyzed by AI algorithms and are included in the app along with a spectrogram and tags of the detected phenomena.

Can I be sure that Medu content is content-wise correct?

All content has been consulted by medical specialists in a given field and created with their participation. Thus we can guarantee our courses are not only substantively correct, but also in line with clinical practice.

When buying access to this course, do I gain access to the entire app?

Yes! By choosing any Medu course and making a purchase on our website, you receive a Medu Plus subscription allowing you to access the full versions of all our courses.
