The present description relates to methods and systems for a medical dictation. In one example, a stethoscope includes a first microphone positioned to capture physiological sounds of a patient, a second microphone positioned to capture ambient sounds, one or more processors, and memory storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to: during a stethoscope mode, obtain a first signal from the first microphone and a second signal from the second microphone, process the first signal to capture a physiological sound signal, including performing noise cancellation on the first signal based on the second signal, and transmit the physiological sound signal to an external computing device and/or a speaker of the stethoscope; and during a dictation mode, obtain the second signal from the second microphone, process the second signal to capture a voice signal, and transmit the voice signal to the external computing device.

Systems and methods for dictation with a digital stethoscope

Methods and systems for a hybrid analog-digital stethoscope is herein provided. In one example, an electronic stethoscope comprises a chestpiece including a sound collecting interface and a plurality of electronic components, wherein the plurality of electronic components includes one or more microphones and one or more speakers; an output tube coupled to the chestpiece via a connector comprising a mode switching port, wherein the output tube, when the mode switching port is in a first position for digital mode, is in acoustic communication with the one or more speakers and, when the mode switching port is in a second position for analog mode, is in acoustic communication with the sound collecting interface.
