eMurmur announced today that its flagship "eMurmur ID" solution has received the CE mark certification. Accreditation is an important part of the eMurmur business, which now carries the quality management certification ISO 13485:2016 and the EC certification according to the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC. The news comes on the heels of eMurmur ID receiving FDA clearance, making it the only heart murmur detection solution that has received clearance for both the U.S. and European markets.
eMurmur ID is a mobile and cloud solution which operates in conjunction with a 3rd party electronic stethoscope. It uses advanced machine learning to identify and classify pathologic and innocent heart murmurs, the absence of a heart murmur, and S1, S2 heart sounds. The end-to-end solution is comprised of ML-based analytics, a mobile app, and a web portal. It supports the workflows of healthcare providers performing cardiac auscultation and has multiple applications including primary and specialty care, and corporate health.

Heart Murmur Detection: Past vs FutureHeart disease is the leading cause of death globally for both men and women, causing over 30% of all deaths annually. Heart auscultation (meaning "to listen with a stethoscope") is a 200+ year-old method to screen for heart disease by listening for abnormal heart sounds (murmurs), used worldwide for patients of all ages. However, heart auscultation is subjective in nature and studies have shown that accuracy rates amongst primary care providers are low. With an accuracy rate of over 85%, eMurmur ID makes expert-level auscultation accessible to any healthcare provider performing auscultation.
eMurmur today announced that it has received FDA clearance, enabling a new era in heart murmur detection. eMurmur ID is a mobile and cloud solution which operates in conjunction with a 3rd party electronic stethoscope. It uses advanced machine learning to identify and classify pathologic and innocent heart murmurs, the absence of a heart murmur, and S1, S2 heart sounds. The end-to-end solution is comprised of AI-based analytics, a mobile app, and a web portal (all HIPAA compliant). It supports the workflows of healthcare providers performing cardiac auscultation and has multiple applications including primary and specialty care, and corporate health.
The European Commission awards a prestigious EUR 50,000 Horizon 2020 grant to eMurmur to advance its R&D into a clinically tested mobile-based technology for the objective detection and classification of heart murmurs.
CSD Labs GmbH (d.b.a. eMurmur) was formally founded in Graz, Austria with the vision of leveraging state-of-the art signal processing, machine learning, and high quality clinical datasets to create an autonomous heart murmur detection AI. Additionally, eMurmur raises EUR 420,000 from US angel investors.
Unlike the client software, Murmur itself has no graphical interface to make settings. Instead, you work directly in the file murmur.ini. Find this in the folder where Mumble is also installed. Alternatively, you can use the search function of the operating system. Open the configuration file with an ordinary text editor, which every operating system will already have installed.
When you have configured everything, you can put the Mumble server into operation. For this you start the file murmur.exe. It is located in the same folder as the configuration file. The server runs in the background, no new window opens. In Windows you will only see a small icon in the system tray, which refers to the running server. Via the icon you can also open the log file of the session.
In portrait mode only, the phono for Late Systolic Murmur (LSM) is displayed incorrectly. See the illustration below: the second beat mistakenly shows the late systolic murmur appearing after S2. The first beat is displayed correctly.
The misconception is that lesions have a single, best represenative set of heart sounds and murmurs is very common. Severity, suddness of onset, heart rate, and listening location can all affect the type of heart sounds and murmrurs generated.
For example, mitral regurgitation provides no fewer than three systolic murmurs, depending upon the clinical setting: late systolic (with mitral valve prolapse), early systolic (acute severe), and holosystolic (chronic).
The 17* sound and murmur buttons on the control panel can create over 130,000 combinations, but not all of these are physiologically possible. To prevent mislearning, the Sound Builder honors your last selection, but turns off other sounds or murmurs that cannot occur or are very unlikely to occur at the same time.
The Sound Builder provides an opportunity for you to make "custom" combinations of heart sounds and murmurs. These combinations may be created to compare with auscultatory complexes that you hear when examining patients.
Learn to recognize the shape of the phonocardiogram with the character of the sound or murmur. Tall, spiky waveforms are high-frequency sounds or clicks.* Rough, bushy waveforms are murmurs. Murmurs that grow taller with time are crescendo, and those that grow shorter with time are descrescendo.
Become proficient at listening for each sound or murmur in the midst of others. For example, add and remove the Opening Snap (OS) in the presence of a Mid Diastolic/Presystolic Murmur (MDM+PSM). 2ff7e9595c
