DermaSensor vs Eko Health
A family medicine practice could put either device in its exam rooms. DermaSensor is a handheld spectroscopy reader that gives a Monitor or Investigate Further result with a 1 to 10 score on a lesion the physician already finds suspicious, in patients 40 and older. Eko AI runs on Eko's digital stethoscopes and flags murmurs, AFib and low ejection fraction, though AFib needs the CORE 500 and the low ejection fraction tool runs on an ECG-capable stethoscope.
Eko lists the CORE 300 at $199 on sale (list $249, sale end date not shown) and $119.99 per year for the Eko+ membership that Eko AI requires. DermaSensor is rented monthly, and the vendor says a dedicated CPT code has not yet been established. DermaSensor's FAQ says EHR integration is not available yet, and Eko's membership table marks EHR integration for SENSORA only.
DermaSensor was granted FDA De Novo DEN230008 on January 12, 2024. Eko's 10 510(k) clearances cover its stethoscopes and analysis software.
