Described herein are a computer enhanced medical method and device for generating an asthmatic condition indication. The apparatus receives a lung signal from a stethoscope, the lung signal having been converted from an analog signal to a digital signal. Furthermore, circuitry included in the apparatus performs, inter alia, the following: displays a patient recording canvas corresponding to physical locations on a body of the patient, the canvas including an anterior patient orientation and a posterior patient orientation, generates a recording process, the recording process including recording, for a predetermined period of time, the detected lung signal, and associates the recording with a marked location. Furthermore, the circuitry merges the recorded lung signal from each marked location on the patent recording canvas as merged information, and applies processing to the merged information to generate the asthmatic condition indication. |
