Although Heart Murmur Simulator (HMS) may not be as exciting as a new video game, its a really helpful tool for medical professionals. Be it a medical student studying for finals, or a paramedic honing their skills, I wanted to design an app that can help anyone feel at ease when hearing heart sounds.
I struggled a lot with heart murmurs, and even today I am still finding ways to improve my heart listening skills.
Realising that designing an algorithm that could produce a heartbeat with pathology would be a very helpful teaching tool, I got to work.
Building parameters that allow you to tweak the difficulty of the murmurs you hear, this allows people of any skill level to utilise this tool effectively.
For anyone using this, I hope this tool helps you improve and thank you for using it!
