What’s new in the Eko App for Android

We’re always working to improve your experience with Eko. To experience these features and more, download the Eko App.

Here’s the latest:

Release 4.2.0 (October 2023)

  • Updated the wording on some of the screens to improve usability.

  • Removed the device audio filter setting from the App Settings screen because it’s now located directly on the Listen screen for easier access.

  • Internal improvements.

Release 4.1.0 (August 2023)

  • Recordings no longer continue to play back when the app is in the background.

  • Bug fixes.

Release 4.0.0 (June 2023)

The Eko App just got a major upgrade! Now you have more control with centralized features. We've listened to your feedback, and we're always working to improve your experience with Eko. Here's what's changed.

New centralized workflow

The new Listen screen consolidates the previous Exam and Record screens into one centralized place to auscultate, take recordings, or start a guided cardiac exam. The Listen screen is a flexible method for auscultating a range of body sounds. You can simply turn on your Eko device, open the Eko App, and start listening to body sounds once your device connects to the app. Learn more here.

The Spot Check feature has been removed. Instead, you'll find two choices for taking a recording or starting an exam.

The Quick Record feature has been renamed to Record and is a flexible way to take a recording. Learn more here. You now have a deeper level of control with these new recording settings on the Menu screen:

  • The Recording Analysis setting screens for abnormalities for every recording when turned on (default).

  • The Record Automatically setting shows only if you have Recording Analysis turned on. Turn on if you want the recording to begin automatically when a good signal is detected. Turn off if you want to start the recording yourself.

The Exam feature has not changed and guides you through a 4-point cardiac assessment. Learn more here.

Now you have easy access to audio settings and audio filters, right on the Listen screen.

Added support for CORE 500™

Our new flagship device, the CORE 500™ Digital Stethoscope, can be used in the Eko App. The Listen screen streams the 3-lead ECG and the phonocardiogram (PCG) from the CORE 500™.

  • Control whether or not the ECG displays on the CORE 500™ display screen with the Display ECG on Device setting.

  • Control how bright the screen is on the CORE 500™ with the Device Brightness setting.

Option to remove patient information in reports

You can now select whether or not you want to include sensitive patient information, such as their name, MRN, and DOB, when sharing a report.
