Eko Analysis Software, or Eko AI, is FDA-cleared software intended to provide support to the physician in the evaluation of patients’ heart sounds and ECGs. The software analyzes simultaneous ECG and heart sounds. The software detects the presence of atrial fibrillation and normal sinus rhythm from the ECG signal. In addition, it calculates certain cardiac time intervals such as heart rate and QRS duration and EMAT. The software does not identify other arrhythmias. It is not intended as a sole means of diagnosis. The interpretations of heart sounds and ECG offered by the software are only significant when used in conjunction with physician over-read and is for use on adults (> 18 years).

When the Eko App is connected and used with a compatible digital stethoscope, Eko AI is used to check for signs of heart disease. The Eko App summarizes any findings, including potential AFib or other abnormalities. These findings aren’t a diagnosis, but are intended to aid the clinician in reaching a diagnosis accurately, quickly, and confidently.

The international Eko App is available for iOS and Android devices with limited functionality. The international app does not include the following, because these features haven't been cleared yet outside of the U.S.: Eko AI analysis, sharing of recordings or patients, auto record, full cardiac exam, and live streaming. For the full list of functionality, see Overview of the international Eko App.
