Overview

You use the Eko App to generate a report of a recording that allows you to:

• Share it with others.

• Print it.

• Play back or download the audio file.

• View the visualization of the waveform.

• View any notes about the recording.

You can choose to share the report with several common options available on your mobile device, such as by text message, email, or any other apps. The report is sent from the app as a PDF that includes a secure link to listen to the audio file for each position. The recipient can access the audio clip directly from the report without having to sign in.

You can share a recording from the patient profile screen or from the results screen after a recording has been taken. You can select whether or not to include or remove patient information.

Remove patient information from reports

You can select whether or not you want to include sensitive patient information, such as their name, MRN, and DOB, when sharing a report. The sharing feature has an Omit Patient Information setting. You can either select the setting in the app settings or during the first time you’re sharing an assigned recording. The setting will stay turned on until you deselect it in the app settings.

Note: This setting is off by default. You’ll need to turn on the setting to start using it.

In the app settings

1. Tap the Menu button in the bottom toolbar.

   

2. Tap App Settings.

   

3. Scroll down to Sharing Reports and toggle on Omit Patient Information. Patient information will be removed from all reports.

   

Sharing a recording for the first time

1. In an assigned recording, tap the Share button on the bottom left. A popup appears with the option to include or exclude patient information. 

   

2. In the popup, tap Omit Patient Information. The report is created without the patient information and this setting is saved for future reports. Note: You can change this setting later in the app settings as described above.
