"The system allows one to obtain very precise and reliable data, it is equipped with a very efficient sound filter and contains batteries that can last three to four weeks," said David Atienza, an EPFL assistant professor.
The system also "ensures automatic analysis of the data" and their "transmission under a compressed format to the doctor".
