Listening to the heartbeats of an unborn child is possibly the sweetest melody for a pregnant woman. Strengthening the contact between mother and her unborn baby, the Puffi Santel Intergalactico, joining hands with Robert Majkut Design has come up with a stethoscope with MP3 player that records and plays the heartbeats of an unborn child. Hailed as ‘Beforme,’ the unique medical device is basically a combination of an MP3 player and a stethoscope, which can be used to listen to the heart beats of the mother as well as the infant. Apart from playing the heart rhythm on the headphones, the embryo-shaped device presents the heartbeats as a graph, on the display, as well.
Design Status:
The ‘Beforme’ is a designer concept that if came in production would be very helpful not just for pregnant women, but doctors as well.
Usability:
Combining the basic elements of headphones, corps and stethoscope, the Beforme is an innovative and user-friendly medical gadget. It’s easy to use as the mother can record the heartbeat with just a touch of a button and send it to the doctor for charting and comparing the data. Moreover, the user can transmit the recorded data via USB cable or Bluetooth to the computer.
