Dr. Setty began his medical education at the Medical College of Ohio, where he graduated with Alpha Omega Alpha honors, followed by a general surgery residency at Oregon Health & Science University.

This simple-to-use tool has a familiar stethoscope form factor and workflow that enables clinicians, hospitals and telehealth providers to capture, record, replay, and visualize heart sounds and ECG waveforms instantaneously on the HD Steth Android or Apple iOS app. The HD Steth app delivers superior ECG waveforms with the ability to detect high-frequency heart sounds indicative of murmurs. Medical professionals now have access to patented algorithms and high-definition visualization, in addition to noise-cancellation technologies that support an instantaneous diagnosis by a remote specialist.
