“…Needless to say, developing domestic products is crucial to increasing the value and competitiveness of sensitive and specific medical devices. In addition, previous research said that wireless stethoscopes are very effective in their use because they can reduce noise and can transmit auscultation results over long distances (11) The phenomenon concerning the acceptance of new technology, such as this wireless stethoscope that will be used by health workers, both doctors and nurses, should be tested before use. The need to figure out the perception of a new technology utilized in the nursing field is crucial in deciding the acceptance of the latest technology.…”

Background: A stethoscope is an acoustic medical device commonly utilized for listening to internal sounds in the human body. Since its invention, the stethoscope has undergone several transformative improvements, including the introduction of electronic systems in the last two decades. Through the Center of Excellence in the Higher Education of Science and Technology (PUI-PT), Center for Bio Mechanics, Bio Material, Bio Mechatronics, and Bio Signal Processing (CBIOM3S), the Diponegoro University has developed a wireless stethoscope to enable the user to examine the patients quickly without being constrained by tubing, unlike the manual stethoscope. The wireless stethoscope supports health workers in performing their work. This new technology creates various perceptions from its users, one of whom is nurses. Objectives: This study aims to provide an overview of nurses' perceptions regarding the usefulness and ease of use of a wireless stethoscope to perform auscultation of the heart and lungs of critically ill patients. Methods: The research method employed was a pilot study, and 40 nurses working in the critical care units, including the Intensive Care Unit, High Care Unit, and Stroke Unit in a private hospital in Palembang City, were chosen as respondents for a total sampling technique. Results: Nurses' perceptions of the ease and usefulness of a wireless stethoscope were measured using the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use questionnaires. The nurses' perception of the use of wireless stethoscopes exhibited a mean score of 4.27, while the nurses' perception of the ease of use of wireless stethoscopes showed a mean score of 4.35. Those results indicate that nurses in the critical care units accepted wireless stethoscopes in terms of ease of use and usefulness as a device for performing auscultation of the heart and lungs of critically ill patients. Conclusions: Nurses get new technology like a wireless stethoscope because it can work more quickly and is easy to use thereby assisting nurses in conducting cardiac and pulmonary auscultation in critical patients.

In the global epidemic, distance learning occupies an increasingly important place in teaching and learning because of its great potential. This paper proposes a web-based app that includes a proposed 8-layered lightweight, customized convolutional neural network (LCCNN) for COVID-19 recognition. Five-channel data augmentation is proposed and used to help the model avoid overfitting. The LCCNN achieves an accuracy of 91.78%, which is higher than the other eight state-of-the-art methods. The results show that this web-based app provides a valuable diagnostic perspective on the patients and is an excellent way to facilitate medical education. Our LCCNN model is explainable for both radiologists and distance education users. Heat maps are generated where the lesions are clearly spotted. The LCCNN can detect from CT images the presence of lesions caused by COVID-19. This web-based app has a clear and simple interface, which is easy to use. With the help of this app, teachers can provide distance education and guide students clearly to understand the damage caused by COVID-19, which can increase interaction with students and stimulate their interest in learning.
