Avtone by Avkin is a high-fidelity, wearable chest and back auscultation simulator designed to revolutionize cardiovascular and pulmonary assessment training. Worn comfortably by a standardized patient, the simulator features an anatomically accurate chestpiece that replicates realistic heart and lung landmarks. This allows learners to use their own stethoscope, just as they would in real clinical settings, promoting familiarity and confidence in physical assessment.
Avtone connects via Bluetooth to the Avkin App, where educators can select from a library of authentic heart and lung sounds—ranging from normal rhythms to abnormal findings like murmurs, wheezes, crackles, and more. Instructors can adjust the volume and switch between conditions in real-time, enabling dynamic and responsive simulation scenarios. Whether teaching basic auscultation or preparing learners for high-acuity clinical environments, Avtone offers a flexible, high-impact tool to enhance clinical judgment.
The simulator requires no additional external hardware or attachments, which reduces setup time and improves realism. Its long-lasting battery provides up to 16 hours of continuous use and can be fully recharged in approximately 8 hours—supporting high-throughput simulation labs and extended training sessions. The device is constructed from durable silicone and secured with comfortable straps, ensuring wearability and repeatable performance. With three skin-tone options available, Avtone also promotes diversity and representation in simulation education.
Designed for use in nursing, medical, and EMS programs, Avtone develops auscultation skills through experiential learning and interaction with standardized patients. It not only improves technical listening skills but also reinforces critical thinking and patient communication—key components in delivering high-quality, empathetic care.
