Eko Health vs Epic Sepsis Model
Eko sells the CORE 300 digital stethoscope as a $199 one-time purchase, marked down from a $249 list price with no sale end date shown. Eko's AI needs the Eko+ membership at $119.99 per year, with a 14-day free trial. AFib detection requires the CORE 500, and the low ejection fraction tool runs on an ECG-capable stethoscope. Health systems reach SENSORA and Eko Telehealth through Contact Sales. Eko holds ten 510(k) records on openFDA.
The Epic Sepsis Model is a risk score delivered within Epic licensing, recalculated every 15 minutes, with alert thresholds the hospital sets. A clinician who auscultates buys from Eko, and an Epic customer's sepsis program uses the model, so a health system could own both without trading one for the other. An independent ED validation in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine (2025) of 35,076 encounters found AUROC of 0.77 for version 1 and 0.90 for version 2.
