Project Overview

This interactive educational tool was developed by students of State Ghazipur Homoeopathic Medical College & Hospital to help medical students and practitioners learn about normal and abnormal breath sounds. The application provides a virtual environment for exploring different lung regions, listening to authentic breath sounds, and understanding their clinical significance.

Features

• Interactive Lung Visualization: Click on different regions of the lungs to hear corresponding breath sounds
• Comprehensive Sound Library: Collection of normal and abnormal breath sounds including:
  • Normal vesicular breath sounds
  • Bronchial and broncho-vesicular sounds
  • Abnormal sounds: wheezes, crackles, rhonchi, stridor, pleural rubs
• Educational Content: In-depth explanations about auscultation technique, respiratory anatomy, and clinical significance
• Sound Comparison Tool: Compare normal vs. abnormal sounds to better understand differences
• Mobile Responsive Design: Learn on any device

Technologies Used

• Next.js 15: React framework for server-rendered applications
• React: Frontend UI library
• Tailwind CSS: Utility-first CSS framework for styling
• Web Audio API: For high-quality sound processing and playback
• TypeScript: Type-safe JavaScript for better code quality
