Thinklabs was founded in 1991 by Clive Smith, an Electrical Engineering graduate of Caltech. The name implies the company's goal - think deeply about problems that matter and develop imaginative solutions. Smith has always had a passion for medical electronics, sound, music and signal processing. Our latest innovation, the Thinklabs One stethoscope, marks another paradigm shift in stethoscope design - a bold move to eliminate the hollow tube styling that pre-dates The American Civil War. It represents a belief that the time has come for the familiar icon of medicine to be retired to the museum. The Thinklabs One was entirely conceived, designed and engineered by Clive Smith - a perfectionist's pursuit of perfection.
