Eko’s AFib and Murmur screening algorithms are the first in a suite of cardiac screening algorithms Eko plans to combine with its digital stethoscope devices to assist providers in the detection of cardiovascular conditions. In December 2019, Eko announced the FDA had granted the company breakthrough status for a novel ECG-based algorithm that, if FDA-cleared, could provide an easily accessible screening test for heart failure. Since the release of its first-generation Eko CORE device in 2015, Eko’s technology has been adopted by clinicians at more than 4,000 hospitals and clinics in the U.S. and Europe.

Eko’s AI is a cloud-based software application that analyzes ECG and heart sound/phonocardiogram (PCG) data. The software uses several methods to interpret the acquired signals, including signal processing and convolutional neural networks.
The software is intended to provide support to the physician in the evaluation of patients' heart sounds and ECGs. The software analyzes simultaneous ECG and heart sounds and will detect the presence of suspected murmurs in the heart sounds. The software also 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, QRS duration and electromechanical activation time (EMAT). The software does not distinguish between different kinds of murmurs and does not identify other arrhythmias.
Eko’s AI 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 when used on adults (> 18 years).
