BeamO can now offer AI-driven feedback for your Stethoscope measurements within the Withings App for both heart and lung sounds with the new StethO Sense feature. StethO Sense is an AI-powered analysis feature built into the Withings app that helps you get more from your BeamO stethoscope recordings. It analyzes your heart and lung sounds and delivers feedback within seconds with the use of two specialized medical AI platforms:
- StethoMe focuses on detecting abnormal lung sounds (wheeze, ronchi, crackles).
- EMurmur focuses on detecting abnormal heart sounds (murmurs).
Eligibility:
In order to be eligible to make use of StethO Sense, you will need:
- A BeamO device
- An active Withings+ Subscription
- The latest version of the Withings App
How to Access:
So long as your meet the requirements, StethO Sense requires no setup or activation. To access the feature, follow these steps:

How to Interperet your Results:
Heart Analysis by eMurmur
eMurmur analyzes cardiac recordings captured at four standard auscultation positions: Aortic, Pulmonary, Tricuspid, and Mitral areas.
Note: eMurmur is not compatible with BPM Core apex-area recordings.
| Result | Confidence Score | Response |
|---|---|---|
| No Abnormal Murmur | High | None - all is well! |
| No Abnormal Murmur | Medium | Re-recording recommended |
| No Abnormal Murmur | Low | Re-recording strongly advised |
| Abnormal murmur detected | High / Medium / Low | Depends on confidence level |
| Insufficient quality for analysis | -- | Re-recording required |
| Additional data: Heart Rate (bpm | -- | -- |
* Important note: Receiving an abnormal result does not indicate an emergency medical condition. Inform your doctor on your next regular visit.
Lung Analysis by StethoMe
StethoMe analyzes pulmonary recordings across 8 auscultation positions (6 positions for children under 12 years old).
Your result includes four lung sound phenomenon scores, each on a scale of 0–100:
- Wheezes
- Rhonchi (gurgling)
- Fine Crackles
- Coarse Crackles
| Score | Level | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| <30 | Optimal | Minimal or no notable breathing sounds |
| 30-70 | Fair | Some notable breathing sounds |
| >70 | Notable | Notable breathing sounds detected |
Additional data: Inhale/Exhale Ratio
Note: If your recording quality is insufficient, a re-recording will be recommended.
StethoMe's Breathing Index is a wellness feature intended for general respiratory sound tracking. It is not intended for use by individuals with diagnosed respiratory conditions (including but not limited to asthma, COPD, bronchitis, or bronchiolitis) or as a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
