Leader in Geriatric Care Leverages Eko Digital Health Solutions During COVID-19

When COVID-19 hit, hospitals and healthcare facilities rapidly shifted care delivery towards virtual care solutions. A global leader in geriatric care excellence and innovation in Canada has continued to provide their patients and residents with seamless access to clinicians using digital health solutions.  The provider’s Director of Innovation has deployed 30 telemedicine carts across the health system’s units equipped with iPads, Eko DUO ECG + Digital Stethoscope, Eko Telehealth subscription, and speakers. The Eko DUO offers the ability for clinicians to capture a single-lead ECG reading and listen to heart and lung sounds from anywhere in the world.  The carts have supported everything from virtual visits with specialists, connecting residents to hospital teams, as well as virtual visits with family during quarantine.  The Eko DUO enables clinicians to obtain a more comprehensive virtual exam than using video alone allowing for a continuum of care amidst a global pandemic.
