Eko Health

What is Eko Health?

Eko Health makes digital stethoscopes paired with AI software for heart and lung screening, aiming to flag disease earlier. The device line includes CORE 300 and CORE 500 stethoscopes, a CORE Digital Attachment and the 3M Littmann CORE Digital Stethoscope.

Key capabilities of Eko Health

• AI murmur detection: FDA-cleared detection of structural murmurs.
• AFib and low EF detection: FDA-cleared algorithms for atrial fibrillation and low ejection fraction.
• Digital auscultation: enhanced audio with noise cancellation and real-time waveforms.
• 3-lead ECG: ECG tracings alongside sound.
• Recording storage: automatic storage and tagging.
• Eko Vet+: veterinary use, including canine murmur detection.

How Eko Health works

A clinician places the stethoscope on the patient, Eko records sound and ECG, and the software shows waveforms and runs its algorithms for murmurs, AFib and low EF. The enterprise plan adds EMR integrations, telehealth live streaming and user management.

Who uses Eko Health?

Primary care and cardiology clinicians, health systems and telehealth providers. The vendor states 10 FDA clearances, more than 70 publications and over 750,000 devices sold. Eko+ AI access is limited to countries where Eko has regulatory approval.

Eko Health pricing

Eko does not list prices on its homepage. It notes that some stethoscopes may qualify for HSA or FSA reimbursement. Eko+ membership provides access to the AI software for licensed healthcare professionals.

Eko Health alternatives

Nabla and Ambience Healthcare provide AI clinical documentation from visits, which is a different job from screening with a stethoscope. Proscia is a digital pathology software platform. None of them replaces a stethoscope-based screening workflow.
