Digital stethoscopes? What are best? [way easier to put on than EKGs]

I briefly borrowed 2 and was able to use chatgpt-pro to analyze

[idk how helpful so far tho]. But like, you can use this info for preventative care without the inconvenience of going through a doctor! They’re way easier to put on than EKG’s. Maybe they might even work during exercise…

I heard the eko health…

Both the Core and Core 500 are advanced stethoscopes with a variety of features that make them feel like a space age tricorder. While the Core allows for noise cancelation and recordings of exam findings the Core 500 gives the user the ability to take a quick ekg that is displayed on the screen and is automatically saved to a paired phone. These stethoscopes are widely used by nurses, paramedics, doctors, and other healthcare providers around the world

Did I read the literature correctly that you have to subscribe to an annual service to be able to save the recordings to your smart phone? Without a subscription you get an amplified stethoscope and a 1- or 3-lead (saw conflicting information) ECG that can be viewed but is not analyzed and cannot be saved and permanently stored.

I tried the eko core stethoscope and returned it. The ear pieces fall off easily and of course you need direct good skin contact to get ekg readings and that doesn’t always work out.
