Before you begin

Check these first so setup goes smoothly.

Use a quiet environment whenever possible.

Confirm consent and recording readiness before capture.

Ensure the device is seated correctly on the chest site before recording.

Prefer native mobile capture for production-quality audio when available.

Recommended order for first-time or repeat setup.

Open the Digital Stethoscope page and connect the device.

Select the correct listening mode and site before recording.

Start capture and monitor live waveform or session state.

Stop capture cleanly, then review playback before export or upload.

Save or upload the clip only after confirming audio quality.

What to check when the workflow does not behave as expected.

If web playback is noisy, test the same workflow on Android native before blaming the device.

If connect works but captured audio sounds distorted, verify transport assumptions and decoder path.

If playback plumbing works but quality is poor, treat web BLE as fallback/debug, not the primary production path.

If clips are saved but metadata is incomplete, inspect the session and upload pipeline before changing UI.

Use these rules to keep the workflow reliable and clinically sensible.

Do not rely on a poor-quality clip for clinical decisions.

Retake clips if excessive noise, clipping, or poor placement is suspected.

Always review the recording before sharing or escalation.

Operational guidance based on how these integrations are actually shaped in the app.

Heart and lung modes should stay easy to switch.

A clean quick pane is good for demos, but the full device page remains the authoritative workflow.

Native production capture is the most likely stable end state.
