Eko Digital Stethoscope AI Analysis Algorithm Validated for Detecting Heart Murmurs
Journal of the American Heart Association study found the AI algorithm detects clinically significant murmurs comparable to expert cardiologists
The Eko digital stethoscope can record heart soubnds and use an artificial intelligence (AI) analysis algorithm to detect heart murmurs. I new study in the
JAHA showed it has comparable performance to that of an expert cardiologist.
May 10, 2021 — Eko announced the peer-reviewed publication of a clinical study that found that the Eko artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm used with its digital stethoscopes for detecting heart murmurs is accurate and reliable, with comparable performance to that of an expert cardiologist. The findings suggest utility of the FDA-cleared Eko AI algorithm as a frontline clinical tool to aid clinicians in screening for cardiac murmurs that may be caused by valvular heart disease.
