EKO SENSORA: Detecting Clinically Significant Murmurs

The Eko Artificial Intelligence (AI) has primarily been evaluated in the primary care setting. The digital stethoscope records a phonocardiogram of heart sounds of the patient and uses machine learning artificial intelligence to identify if there are abnormalities present (Eko Health, 2023). The Eko SENSORA will be tested in the emergency department. Chest pain, fatigue, shortness of breath and syncope are all symptoms that could indicate a cardiac dysfunction. The hypothesis is that this device will allow us increased ability to detect valvular heart disease that is clinically significant.
