Encounters unify both assigned and unassigned recordings and guided exams* into one clinical view on the Encounters tab. You can manage Encounters in two ways:
- On the Encounter summary screen that shows immediately after you take a recording or guided exam* from a New Encounter in the Eko App.
- From the Encounters tab, where both assigned and unassigned Encounters are located after you close the Encounter summary screen or take a recording from your Eko device.
Encounter Summary
The Encounter summary screen appears immediately after you do a freeform or guided encounter* from a New Encounter.

Assign* - tap Assign to Patient to search for an existing patient, or create a new one. Tap Assign tags to select tag(s) to assign to the encounter, or create new ones.

Share encounter* - share the encounter with the patient or a colleague two different ways:
