It must be emphasized that StethoMe was established because we obtained the results presented in the manuscript and sought to change the status quo in this area of examination. This does not alter our adherence to the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials, and the results were obtained with all the required ethical standards and objectivity. All the authors were paid for their work. Anna Bręborowicz is the StethoMe content consultant and coordinated the recordings at the hospital. Adam Biniakowski is employed by StethoMe. The commercial affiliation of HH-D,JK, ABi did not play a role in our study.Ĭompeting interests: Honorata Hafke-Dys and Jędrzej Kociński are employed by both Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and the company StethoMe, and are shareholders of StethoMe.

The specific roles of these authors are articulated in the ‘author contributions’ section. The funder provided support in the form of salaries for authors HH-D, ABr, PK, JK, ABi, but did not have any additional role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish,or preparation of the manuscript.
