The AI Stethoscope That Scribes Itself: Lapsi Health’s Jhonatan Bringas Dimitriades on Reinventing Clinical AI

Dr. Jhonatan Bringas Dimitriades is the CEO and co-founder of Lapsi Health and the co-creator of Keikku — the world's first FDA-cleared digital stethoscope with an integrated AI scribe. The healthtech company and device were built alongside his co-founder and wife Dr. Diana van Stijn. Keikku listens to cardiac and pulmonary sounds, detects heart murmurs with 90% accuracy, and scribes physician-patient encounters real time at the bedside.  In this episode, we talk about the pediatric asthma patient that sparked Lapsi Health, why lung sounds are where the clinical misdiagnosis can happen, how MEMS microphone technology powers AI-assisted auscultation, and what multilingual AI scribing means for the future of point-of-care medicine. MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems devices are miniature sensors and actuators—combining electrical and mechanical components—found in smartphones, cars, and medical tools.  Jhonatan and I discuss the deskilling debate. He makes the case for why physicians need to be reskilling right now. ▶ Subscribe to @ResaELewissMD — new episodes The Visible Voices Podcast episode every Wednesday. 🎙️ Search "The Visible Voices Podcast" on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
