“I bought the CORE 500 with the standard or free app to see the 3-lead ECG. I needed to upgrade to Eko+ so I can make recordings for the patients chart and I think it's worth it so far.”

“I love my Eko Core 500. As an out of hospital EMS provider I has experienced recent hearing loss. The amplification of my Eko stethoscope has allowed me to hear confidently in a moving ambulance again. My only suggestion or recommendation for future models would be to improve the twist lock connection where the audio wire connect to the Eko chest piece. I have found mine is twisting easily and has recently detached. Because of this I almost lost my chest piece in a patients house. Not much of a problem in th3 clinic setting, but for emergency medicine keeping the two pieces secure is a must.”

“This is a fabulous tool for a practicing physician. I hear things better than I’ve heard before, and the subtlety of a low-grade murmur are much easier to evaluate. The EKG is a nice feature, but what I would really like to see is the actual digital tracing on the stethoscope when I’m listening to the patient, Not have to go look at my phone. The other thing that would be really great would be to have the instrument Bluetooth to a speaker, so patients can hear what we’re listening to. Maybe there’s a way to do that that I’m not aware of, but that would be asubstantial upgrade in my view.”

“After 15 years of using an amplified stethoscope, the Eko is a game changer. 1. Patients require a brief explanation regarding why I request skin contact but eliminating fabric improves auscultation significantly. Adjusting the triangular stethoscope along body contours also improves auscultation and is easily learned. The stethoscope head is bigger than my previous stethoscope so assessing a very thin or petite person is different (position carefully) compared to a morbidly obese patient (use pressure for connectivity). 2. User experience is different too; the three settings are easily accessed without interrupting the assessment. Digital clarity and crispness, especially for lower tones that I cannot normally hear, are superior compared to my previous electronic stethoscope. It's reassuring to see other nurses' eyes light up when they experience this for the first time. Now I can detect many more heart conditions, whereas previously I could only excel in the pulmonic changes because those were higher pitches. Complex cardiac patients are pleasantly surprised when I ask more specific questions about their condition after listening because I can appreciate those changes in their heart tones. 3. Nurse life: The longer neck makes it more comfortable to wear (at this price point, I never lend nor lay down my stethoscope). Despite a bigger head, it is lighter in weight because I am no longer carrying an AA battery, making my neck happier at the end of a long shift.”
