Abstract:
1. A physiological sound examination device comprising: a physiological sound measurement device configured to measure a physiological sound originating from vibration propagating through inside a living body of a measurement subject; and a hardware processor, wherein the hardware processor is configured to: calculate power of a first physiological sound and power of a second physiological sound, the first physiological sound being one of two different kinds of physiological sounds measured by the physiological sound measurement device in a same time period and the second physiological sound being another of the two different kinds of physiological sounds, compare first power indicating the power of the first physiological sound and second power indicating the power of the second physiological sound, to calculate a comparison result indicating a ratio or a difference between the first power and the second power, and determine whether or not a measurement position of the physiological sound is appropriate, by comparing the comparison result with a threshold.
