eCART vs Eko Health
Eko's CORE 300 stethoscope lists at $249 with a $199 sale price, sale end date not shown on the page, and Eko AI for murmur and AFib detection requires the $119.99 per year Eko+ membership. AFib detection needs the CORE 500. Ten FDA 510(k) clearances back the line, among them the low ejection fraction tool from March 2024. That is the pitch to a clinician outfitting exam rooms.
Health systems are routed to SENSORA and Eko Telehealth on contact-sales pricing, where the membership table marks an EHR integration row and names no EHR. AgileMD fits ward leadership that wants reporting by system, facility, unit and provider next to eCART's score of ward patients for death or ICU transfer, and the route in is a demo request. A ward-deterioration buyer looks at eCART, while a clinic buying a stethoscope looks at the CORE line.
