What You Should Know: – Eko, a cardiopulmonary digital health company, today announced the peer-reviewed publication of a clinical study that found that the Eko artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm 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 front line clinical tool to aid clinicians in screening for cardiac murmurs that may be caused by valvular heart disease. Clinical Study Findings/Results Algorithm performance for detecting murmurs was found to have sensitivity of 90.0% and specificity of 91.4%, when excluding grade 1 murmurs which are difficult to hear. The NIH-sponsored, multi site study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association was the largest study on AI analysis of cardiac murmurs. Study investigators included collaborators from Northwestern Memorial Hospital, University of Cal ....
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. ....
