## Description

The Eko App turns every patient encounter into an early detection opportunity for heart and lung disease by pairing with a compatible digital stethoscope. It fits seamlessly into your physical exam workflow, enabling wireless listening, ECG capture, recording, playback, annotation, and secure storage of exam data.

Key features include flagging murmurs and rhythm abnormalities (AFib, tachycardia, and bradycardia), building longitudinal patient profiles, generating PDF reports, and sharing results with colleagues or compatible EHRs. Optional Eko+ membership unlocks additional functionality; availability may vary by country. The Services are for informational purposes and should not replace professional medical advice.

## Review summary

Users praise Eko for superb auscultation sound quality, accuracy, and usefulness for cardiac/pulmonary assessments, including benefits for those with hearing loss. Many call it a game changer. However, recurring concerns center on the subscription model—core features require paid plans with auto-renewals—plus connectivity and stability issues after updates and limited save/share capabilities without paying. Overall value hinges on willingness to pay for ongoing features.

### Pros

- Outstanding sound quality and clinically useful accuracy, aided by AI detection.
- Very beneficial for hearing-impaired users; easier to hear heart and lung sounds.
- Convenient and portable: lighter than previous models, detachable chest piece, and usable with earbuds.
- Game-changing impact on cardiac/pulmonary assessments in practice.
- Professional build and reliable hardware quality.

### Cons

- Ongoing subscription required for many features; core functionality often behind a yearly fee with auto-renew.
- Many features like saving, sharing, or exporting recordings and ECG data are gated behind paid plans.
- Connectivity and stability issues after updates; occasional app/ECG malfunctions or Bluetooth problems.
- Frequent upgrade prompts and push to subscribe; perceived poor value for some users.
- Mute-by-default behavior and some setup instructions (e.g., hearing aid guidance) cause frustration.
