In this paper we have developed a fuzzy expert system (FES) for different sounds produced by different organs in the human body. We have also constructed a unique electronic stethoscope. The human body sounds produced by different organs like heart, lungs and intestine were analyzed. The doctor provided the data and relation between variables chosen for each organ sound. Using this information a rule base for fuzzy expert system was built. Such FES helps the medical doctor in arriving at appropriate decision in different difficult clinical situations. The examination of body sounds was done using conventional stethoscope (CS) and electronic stethoscope (ES), which was uniquely designed for this study. We have found that unique stethoscope developed by us is far superior to conventional stethoscope by its overall performance.
