Breakthrough Clinical Data: Eko Health's AI Significantly Improves Heart Disease Detection in Primary Care

Monday, November 13, 2023

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Eko Health, Inc. (Eko), a leader in AI technology for heart and lung disease detection, today unveiled new clinical data at the 2023 American Heart Association Scientific Sessions. This data demonstrated the real-world clinical efficacy of Eko's AI-enabled SENSORA™ Platform to quickly and accurately detect structural murmurs associated with valvular heart disease. Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a medical condition present in over 50% of adults over the age of 65. VHD can lead to heart failure, stroke, and death, and if left undetected and untreated, can progress from moderate to severe within one year. Unfortunately, symptoms of VHD are frequently nonspecific, and more than half of patients with moderate to severe disease are asymptomatic, making VHD challenging to detect with conventional medical practice.

Key Points: 
  • EMERYVILLE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Eko Health, Inc. (Eko), a leader in AI technology for heart and lung disease detection, today unveiled new clinical data at the 2023 American Heart Association Scientific Sessions.
  • This data demonstrated the real-world clinical efficacy of Eko's AI-enabled S ENSORA™ Platform to quickly and accurately detect structural murmurs associated with valvular heart disease.
  • Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a medical condition present in over 50% of adults over the age of 65.
  • These results suggest that using Eko's AI-enabled technology in primary care may significantly increase earlier VHD discovery, facilitate appropriate patient care, and improve outcomes.

Alio's Remote Monitoring Platform Now Notifies Clinicians of Atypical Acoustic Data from Patients with Vascular Access

Thursday, September 28, 2023

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Alio, Inc. announces the release of a new feature for its remote monitoring platform which notifies clinical care teams when there is a gap in typical acoustic data from a patient's vascular access site. While the platform was FDA-cleared in March of this year to function as a stethoscope and collect auscultation data, this new notification draws the clinician's attention to a specific set of recordings which indicate the absence of typical sound data. The standard approach to monitoring a patient's vascular access has required in-person manual readings with a stethoscope. Rather than manually taking readings, the Alio SmartPatch automatically takes readings and makes it possible for clinicians to monitor a patient's vascular access remotely with no action required from the patient. 

Key Points: 
  • BROOMFIELD, Colo., Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Alio, Inc. announces the release of a new feature for its remote monitoring platform which notifies clinical care teams when there is a gap in typical acoustic data from a patient's vascular access site.
  • The standard approach to monitoring a patient's vascular access has required in-person manual readings with a stethoscope.
  • Sound data from the vascular access is essential in managing an ESKD patient's condition and preserving a critical lifeline.
  • The Alio Remote Monitoring Platform makes it possible for clinicians to receive timely notifications regarding their patients.
