Sparrow BioAcoustics’ FDA clearance for their smartphone stethoscope marks a significant advancement in remote patient monitoring and telehealth. This innovative technology allows healthcare professionals to capture and analyze heart and lung sounds using a smartphone, enabling more accessible and convenient monitoring of patients’ respiratory health. Fast Five hosts Sean Whooley and Danielle Kirsh have all the details.
The FDA clearance of GE Healthcare’s Sonic DL AI technology for expediting MRI scans is another significant breakthrough in medical imaging.

Kirsh and Whooley discuss the technology and how it works.
Novo Nordisk’s potential acquisition of a majority stake in BioCorp demonstrates the growing interest of pharmaceutical companies in digital health solutions.
