The new stethoscope developed by researchers at Imperial College London and Imperial College healthcare NHS trust can analyse tiny differences in heartbeat and blood flow undetectable to the human ear, and take a rapid ECG at the same time.

Okay, if you're taking an ECG at the same time that's not just an AI stethoscope, it's a hybrid stethoscope-ECG. Taking an ECG without leads (going based off the lead image) is interesting

Maybe it is a self reinforcing buzzword marketing ploy...like even if there was a small amount of AI was it consequential?
