Wearable Digital Stethoscope
Electronic Stethoscope
QOCA STR1
The QOCA STR1 is a digital stethoscope that uses technology to increase the options for listening to patients. The design is modelled on that of a traditional stethoscope. This means that the purpose and use of the device is clear to any user. One special feature is the separation of the ear tube from the chest piece, so that examinations can take place without direct contact with the patient, such as during quarantine. The device is designed for easy one-handed operation and has a plain white exterior which radiates cleanliness and professionalism.
Statement by the Jury
The QOCA STR1 represents a fresh modern take on the stethoscope. It combines the familiarity of a mechanical device with the advantages of digital technology.
