Paid App Now
So you pay over 300 USD for a stethoscope that doesn’t really work that well for sound amplification or ambient noise suppression, but you remove features from the accompanying app that allow one to save the audio? Then add murmur detection and A-fib recognition, which are two of the easiest things to hear on cardiac auscultation for 112 USD per year?!! That’s a lot of money for rather useless features. No one who practices medicine is going to rely on those features without a 12 lead ekg and more professional testing (e.g., echo). It’s a novelty at best. And while we’re on the topic of novelty, how appropriate is it to remove the simple record and save feature? Someone might want to record their animal’s heart sounds, or a family member, and pass them around. For whatever reason, removing the recording ability seems pretty tacky.Show lessOrlaam

I love the Eko Core stethoscope and the companion Eko App. I recently saw a patient at our clinic who had an irregular rhythm. I was able to take a 3-lead EKG on the spot, securely message the PDF to her cardiologist, and then start a beta blocker and a NOAC. The whole process took maybe 10 minutes, and most of that time was explaining atrial fibrillation to her. Amazing. My only minor complaint is that I wish the volume settings for heart and lungs could be adjusted independently. Perhaps my hearing is not as good with lower frequencies, but I have to keep the volume on high for heart and on medium-low for lungs. Therefore, every time I switch from one mode to the other, I have to readjust the volume. Having a way to adjust the volume independently for each mode would be a nice enhancement.Show lessFanofiphone
My best friend
I got this stethoscope because I’m hearing impaired. And then the pandemic hit. I used just the steth with a paired Bluetooth speaker and it made my life on the Covid unit so much better. The patients could hear what we’ve all been listening to. And I could put it in a glove, wrapped, and cruise into rooms. Also, because I could play it to Bluetooth speaker, the fact that I had on a PAPR didn’t matter. Best investment into my career!
Sadly, this little guy has been through so much and is missing some plastic bits from being dropped or flung during dangerous patient encounters! Still works great but looks war-torn. Ready for a new one!Show lessAngryface01
Great stethoscope!
Work as a Emt and trying to get vitals in the back of a ambulance with a regular stethoscope was useless. Especially when lights and sirens are going and the engine noise. With the Littman Eko stethoscope. You get clear lung sounds and also heart sounds. And you. An send them from your phone to the doc when your enroute to the hospital also. Well worth the money!Show lessThe Duke Of The 509
Less features for visiting nurses when they took away the quick check
Are use the stethoscope as a visiting hospice nurse. This would've been four stars if they would've kept the quick check feature as part of the product. They remove this feature and now this tour becomes extremely less used for as a visiting nurse dealing with terminally ill people who do not easily participate in the exam, are wearing the appropriate down etc. as they could be having hospice services in a new geographic location, have their body in any position that is comfortable for them etc. This was a much needed feature that they removed without appropriate notice or giving access to.Show lessPmabraham

Hi there, thank you for the feedback! We'd love to learn more about your usage of the Eko app. Can you please email support@ekohealth.com and provide us your Eko email address?AI promises unmet, not able to share audio recording easily, and poor audio playback quality.
I have bought Littmann CORE Digital Stethoscope for one of its advertised features, the AI murmur detection and cardiac examination. I’m surprised to know that I can not use this feature in my country even tho I’ve paid 450$ for the stethoscope. I’d rate the app a zero if possible, because it basically provides nothing of benefit currently to me as a physician. Great stethoscope but a very poorly made app. Please consider fixing all the stated problems as soon as possible because this seems like false advertisement.Show lessybkiraq

I am eager to find if this stethoscope can help me with my veterinary care. It works great on human patients. The settings for animals will be different.tihsnameisnottaken
Must have resource
I purchased this lovely addition a few years back to amplify the heart and lung sounds. I am losing hearing and wanted to make sure I could continue confidently with my job so I purchased it and although I wanted it to amplify the sounds, I find myself having to turn the amplified volume down, as it is too loud at times. Lol! I love technology. I gave 4 stars, as nothing is perfect, and it could be a bit smaller, as it does add some weight to my light weight Littman stethoscope. Definitely make the investment.Show lessCaramelMocha
Great App
It’s a great app but I wish it could do more like check for blood pressure and the lungs and do an assessment for any type of lung and breathing problem.Chlubear
