Eko Health Launches CORE 500 Digital Stethoscope in Canada

Eko Health, an innovator in the healthcare technology sector, has made its mark in Canada with the introduction of its CORE 500™ Digital Stethoscope and Eko+ membership specifically tailored for healthcare professionals. This exciting development was made possible by obtaining Health Canada's approval, paving the way for clinicians in the country to access Eko’s advanced technology aimed at improving cardiac and pulmonary assessments.

As the healthcare landscape increasingly incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) for diagnosis and patient care, Eko Health is at the forefront, providing tools designed to enhance clinical decision-making and patient outcomes. David Bakey, General Manager of Consumer at Eko Health, expressed enthusiasm regarding this expansion, emphasizing how the launch of the CORE 500 and Eko+ is a vital step towards making elite medical tools widely available to healthcare providers.

The CORE 500 Digital Stethoscope: Features and Innovations

The CORE 500™ Digital Stethoscope is Eko's latest and most sophisticated model, bringing a suite of features that elevate the standard for auscultation instruments. It boasts patented audio technology that encompasses three listening modes: cardiac, pulmonary, and wide-band, which allows healthcare professionals to switch effortlessly depending on the patient’s needs. Notably, it combines simultaneous ECG and heart sound visualization, providing a comprehensive view of a patient’s heart health.

With its active noise cancellation technology, the CORE 500 ensures that clinicians can perform accurate assessments in various environments, reducing distractions that could impact patient evaluation. Enhanced connectivity is another hallmark of this stethoscope; it integrates seamlessly with mobile and web applications, enabling clinicians to capture and share data efficiently while monitoring patients effectively.

Available directly through Eko's website, the CORE 500 offers a complimentary trial of the Eko+ membership, setting clinicians up for success from the get-go.

Eko+ Membership: Amplifying Clinical Insights

Now accessible through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in Canada, Eko+ features a multitude of AI-supported tools that aid in the detection of conditions such as heart murmurs and Atrial Fibrillation (AFib).

With real-time waveform visualization, Eko+ transforms the stethoscope experience, guiding practitioners through comprehensive multi-point examination flows, while securely enabling the recording and sharing of patient data for asynchronous consultations. This amalgamation of technology and ease of use positions Eko Health as an indispensable partner in contemporary healthcare settings.
