The power of the traditional stethoscope, amplified
for Cardiology The power of the traditional stethoscope, amplified for Cardiology Introducing a new horizon in cardiac care The Eko Core digital attachment transforms a cardiologist’s favorite analog stethoscope into a powerful digital tool. The HIPAA-compliant Eko Mobile App and Web Dashboard enable patient heart sound visualization, annotation, and EHR integration, making virtual consultations and auscultation training easier than ever before. “The Eko team has put together a remarkable device that brings cardiac auscultation to the digital age. The Eko Core attaches to your own stethoscope quickly and easily, and provides a simple, intuitive interface to record heart sounds. I've started using it in my daily practice and even incorporated it into my teaching sessions.” Dr. Pavan Cheruvu, Cardiologist San Francisco General Hospital How it Works Eko Core Eko Mobile App Eko Web Dashboard The Eko Core is a digital attachment to the analog stethoscope. It is the first to enable seamless transitioning between analog and digital modes and the only stethoscope on the market to wirelessly connect to a mobile device. Bluetooth wirelessly connects the Eko Core to the Eko Mobile App. The user-friendly and HIPAAcompliant app enables heart sound visualization, sharing, saving, and electronic medical record integration anytime, anywhere. The Eko Web Dashboard facilitates consistent patient monitoring and virtual consultations by allowing specialists to review and annotate patient heart sounds. Secure data storage allows patient records and annotations to be shared easily between practitioners. 2 Eko for Cardiology © 2015 Eko Devices, Inc. www.ekodevices.com for Cardiology Eko Core & Mobile App Analog & Digital Mobile & Wireless Visualize, Save, & Annotate Eko Core is the first digital stethoscope attachment to securely transfer heart sounds directly to a cardiologist’s smartphone or tablet. Bluetooth provides real-time connection between the Eko Core and the Eko Mobile App. Eliminate inconvenient and unwieldly cords. Eko Mobile App displays heart sound waveforms in real time. Phonocardiograms can be used to identify relevant heart sound characteristics and saved for future reference. LE 3 Eko for Cardiology © 2015 Eko Devices, Inc. www.ekodevices.com for Cardiology The Central Dashboard Generate PDF Reports Integrate with an EHR Share & Collaborate Conveniently generate PDF auscultation reports that can be shared with referring GP’s or consulting specialists. The reports will hyperlink back to the associated recordings in the central dashboard. Integrate patient heart sounds and annotations with existing EHR, telemedicine, and care coordination systems so that patient data is accessible to the entire authorized care team. Send and share patient heart sounds and accompanying notes to referring PCP or cardiology specialists to improve continuity of care or request a second opinion. 4 Eko for Cardiology © 2015 Eko Devices, Inc. www.ekodevices.com for Cardiology Use Cases By the Numbers Diagnostic Precision Experience significant audio enhancement using Eko Core through the digitization, amplification, and filtering of heart sounds. The accompanying Eko Mobile App aims to refine diagnoses by enabling visualization and annotation of phonocardiograms in real time. A study in the Journal of Clinical Cardiology reported 18 and 32 percent improvements in detection of S3 and S4 heart sounds respectively by cardiologists when a phonocardiogram was used in conjunction with auscultation. Source: Clinical Cardiology 2010 specialist detection of S3 and S4 heart sounds improved up to 18% and 32% respectively when a phonocardiogram was used in conjunction with auscultation Coordination of Care 79% of specialists have indicated that a lack of timely reports from referring physicians limits their ability to provide high-quality care. Eko’s PDF Auscultation Report aims to coordinate care amongst practitioners by allowing cardiologists and referring clinicians to properly document referral justification, heart sound recordings, phonocardiograms, and annotations. Source: JAMA Internal Medicine 2011; Pediatrics 2006 only 50% of initial referrals are accompanied by information from the PCP Virtual Consultations A study in Clinical Cardiology reported 70% of all pediatric cardiac referrals for heart murmurs to be unnecessary. Seamless recording, saving, and sharing of heart sounds allows the Eko Core to be used as an echocardiogram pre-screening tool. Digital recordings of heart sounds have proven sufficient for cardiologists to differentiate between innocent and pathologic heart murmurs. Cardiologists can review patient heart sounds recorded remotely by a clinician before deciding to schedule an in-person visit. Source: Clinical Cardiology 2008; Pediatrics 2002 83% of parents experience anxiety surrounding their child’s referral to a cardiologist for an innocent murmur Effective Teaching Teach auscultation to cardiology residents and fellows with simple sharing and demonstration of heart sounds. Both traditional analog and digital auscultation skills can be refined by seamlessly transitioning between modes at the touch of a button. Allow students to experience real examinations virtually using the mobile connectivity and smartphone integration.
