If you're in the market for a digital stethoscope that can help you hear heart murmurs and other cardiac problems, Eko is a top contender. The company's digital stethoscopes, which use AI for analysis, come with features like amplification, noise reduction and wireless listening. Its platform includes the Eko CORE 500 Digital Stethoscope and the 3M Littmann CORE Digital Stethoscope, which can use AI to detect murmurs and atrial fibrillation. The Eko App and subscription plans offer additional features and telehealth system integration for remote patient care, making it a good option for health care professionals.
Another contender is the Kardia 12L, a handheld ECG device that uses AI to check lead placement and minimize mistakes. It can make 35 diagnoses, including acute myocardial infarction and cardiac ischemia. It's designed for trained health care professionals, but it's got a 12-lead ECG with five electrodes, wireless connectivity and long battery life, so it's a good option for quick, accurate cardiac assessments on the go.
