Abstract
For at least two centuries, the stethoscope has served as an essential cornerstone in clinical semiology. The sounds of heart and lung have been used for the differential diagnosis by multiple generations of physicians. One can argue today that our hearing and cognitive capacities are largely outraced by the development of new techniques with embarked artificial intelligence. This latter is able to recognize and differentiate with high precision cardiac and pulmonary sounds.
