Award underscores Eko Health’s mission to enhance clinical care with breakthrough design and technology

Eko Health, a pioneer in AI-powered solutions for early detection of heart and lung disease, announced that its CORE 500® Digital Stethoscope has received the prestigious Red Dot Design Award for product design excellence.

The Red Dot Award is one of the most respected global design competitions, celebrating products that exemplify quality, functionality, and innovation. An independent jury of experts recognized the CORE 500® for its advanced engineering, user-friendly design, and seamless integration of clinical-grade auscultation and ECG capabilities in a compact, portable device.

“At Eko, we are committed to reimagining the tools frontline providers use every day,” said Connor Landgraf, CEO and Co-Founder of Eko Health. “The CORE 500® embodies the synergy of design and clinical performance. This recognition from Red Dot validates our mission to deliver solutions that elevate patient care.”

Revolutionizing the Stethoscope with Cutting-Edge Features

Introduced in 2023, the CORE 500® is the first stethoscope to combine TrueSound™ audio technology, a full-color display with real-time ECG and phonocardiogram waveforms, and Bluetooth® connectivity to the Eko app for simplified data management. Providers can also pair the device with Eko’s FDA-cleared AI software to assist in detecting:

  • Structural heart murmurs
  • Atrial fibrillation (AFib)
  • Low ejection fraction (Low EF)

Offering 40x sound amplification, active noise cancellation, and the ability to both hear and visualize sounds at the bedside, the CORE 500® sets a new benchmark for precision and versatility in clinical practice.

Driving Adoption in Healthcare

The Red Dot Award recognition comes as Eko’s technology continues to gain traction across healthcare systems, telehealth programs, and research institutions worldwide. Its combination of intelligent software and innovative hardware is redefining how clinicians detect, monitor, and manage cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions.
