1. A device for detecting physiological sounds, the device comprising:
a thin film;
a sensor; and
a conductive element configured to conduct the physiological sounds to the thin film when contacting a skin of a live being,
wherein the conductive element is located on the thin film and protrudes relative to the thin film, the conductive element has a first end and a second end, the first end of the conductive element is sealed with the thin film thus to form a cavity in the conductive element, the second end of the conductive element is configured to contact the skin of the live being;
wherein the sensor is configured to sense the physiological sounds or vibration in the cavity, and a part of the sensor is configured to enter the cavity without contacting the thin film and the conductive element when the conductive element contacts the skin of the live being.
