Overview of the Eko App

Eko devices provide the most clinical value when connected to the Eko App. Download the app and connect your Eko device over Bluetooth to complete device setup.

The Eko App is available on iOS and Android. It is required to send heart sound data from your Eko device to your phone, and some features require an Eko+ membership.*

What you can do with the Eko App

  • Record from your stethoscope. Start a recording directly from your Eko device. Your phone can stay in your pocket until you choose to use it.

  • Save and play back multiple recordings. Available to all users.
  • Listen wirelessly through Bluetooth headphones, a Bluetooth speaker, or your stethoscope earpiece.
  • View ECG and PCG tracings in real time (ECG with the CORE 500™ and DUO™ 2).

How the app is organized: Encounters

The Eko App is organized around encounters. An encounter is a single clinical interaction, such as a visit or exam, and it holds everything you capture during it.

An encounter can contain:

  • Recordings started from your stethoscope (scope-first). Record with your device while you stay with your patient. When you open the app, it takes you straight to your Encounters, where your recordings are waiting.
  • Recordings started in the app (freeform). Start a recording from the app when you want to watch the tracing as you record.
  • Guided exams.* Multi-point cardiac exams with placement guidance and automatic recording.

From the Encounters view you can review results, assign recordings to patient profiles,* add tags,* and share.* Learn more from the Encounters in the Eko App article.

System Requirements

  • Your Eko device must be able to connect over Bluetooth.
  • Your mobile device needs both a Bluetooth and an internet connection to use the app's recording and analysis features. If you don't have Wi-Fi, try a mobile hotspot.
