StethoMe
AI home stethoscope · Respiratory (asthma) monitoring
Overview
CE-certified AI stethoscope for home detection of abnormal respiratory sounds, integrated with telemedicine.
What they do
StethoMe is a Polish (Poznań-area) medtech company that has developed a CE-certified AI-powered wireless stethoscope for home use. The system combines an electronic stethoscope, a mobile app and proprietary AI algorithms that let untrained users record auscultation: the app guides probe placement, and StethoMe AI immediately analyzes lung sounds to detect and classify pathological sounds such as wheezes and crackles linked to conditions like asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia. The platform is designed to integrate with telemedicine, enabling clinicians to review recordings remotely.
Lead program & status
The lead product is the StethoMe stethoscope with its AI analysis engine, focused on respiratory (asthma) monitoring, initially in children. It is a certified Class IIa medical device in the EU (CE) and is sold in markets including Poland, France and the UK. The company has raised venture funding across pre-seed, seed and Series A rounds (reported figures include roughly a $2M seed and $2.5M Series A) plus nearly $3M in NCBR grants. StethoMe has targeted US/FDA clearance, reportedly expected around 2025, and showcased the device at CES 2025. Peer-reviewed work has examined AI-aided home monitoring of asthma exacerbations.
Why it matters
Home auscultation with automated sound analysis can support remote management of chronic respiratory disease, helping families and clinicians catch asthma exacerbations earlier without an in-person visit.
