FIGS, Eko Health Collaborate on Digital Stethoscope

FIGS Inc. and Eko Health Inc. have launched the FIGS | Eko CORE 500 Digital Stethoscope.
 
The collaboration unites two companies that have reinvented two healthcare professionals’ mainstays—scrubs and stethoscopes—through new technology, modern design, and authentic connections with the healthcare community. The first-of-its-kind offering builds upon that promise, pairing Eko’s U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared CORE 500 Digital Stethoscope with FIGS’ commitment to design, comfort, and functionality, while fitting seamlessly within FIGS’ layering system for its broader product line.
 
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Eko to bring the CORE 500 Digital Stethoscope to our amazing healthcare community,” FIGS Co-Founder/CEO Trina Spear said. “Our collaboration demonstrates our continued commitment to innovation that aids the incredible work healthcare professionals do to save lives each and every day.”
 
The CORE 500’s TrueSound technology offers an audio experience that provides superior sound filtering and noise reduction while transmitting the most subtle heart and lung sounds with clarity and precision. As the only stethoscope with a full-color screen displaying heart rate and ECG (electrocardiogram) tracing, it equips clinicians with unparalleled patient data in seconds at the point of care. When supported by Eko’s FDA-cleared AI products, the CORE 500 flags abnormalities in seconds, including AFib, bradycardia, and tachycardia, to support patient evaluations.
 
As part of the collaboration, FIGS will offer the CORE 500 with earpieces in four colorways to align with the FIGS layering system. These digital stethoscopes will also feature inspirational quotes imagined by FIGS inscribed on the earpieces.
 
“We are excited to bring this life-saving technology to the FIGS healthcare community,” Eko Co-Founder/CEO Connor Landgraf stated. “FIGS has built an innovative brand and loyal community of healthcare professionals. Joining forces on the FIGS | Eko CORE 500 Digital Stethoscope will support clinicians, advance the future of cardiovascular care, and benefit millions of patients.”
 
All editions of the CORE 500 Digital Stethoscope, first launched by Eko in June 2023, are for healthcare professional use only. The AI-assisted arrhythmia detection features supported by Eko’s AI software are currently limited to users within the United States.
