The privacy of patient health information may be protected
by state, federal, or international/foreign laws that regulate
how such information can be used, stored, transmitted, and
disclosed. The Eko system employs security features that
are compliant with HIPAA policies. Third party access may
be prohibited to such information without obtaining written
authorization from the patient.
The user is fully responsible for understanding and following all
laws that regulate storage, transmission, and disclosure of any
electronic patient data through the use of software. If the user
becomes unable to comply with a law or restriction that applies
to use and disclosure of such data, the user should not proceed
to collect or save such information.
This application may require entry of individually identifiable
health information in order to function. Records are stored and
recalled through the use of patient name, date of birth, and/or
patient ID #. By entering this information, the user assumes any
and all risks of and liabilities incurred with using or transmitting
such information.
1.8 Patient Privacy
In order to transmit sounds to the Eko App, the stethoscope and
device must be connected via Bluetooth, and in order to fully use
certain functions, the mobile device must be connected to the
internet via cellular data connection or Wi-Fi.
CORE uses a Bluetooth Class 2 wireless data link. The Bluetooth
range will be reduced when objects (walls, furniture, people,
etc) are between CORE and a paired mobile device. To improve
Bluetooth connection, reduce the distance and/or allow a line of
sight between CORE and mobile device.
It is highly recommended that users of the Eko Dashboard and
Eko App use device and networking security features to protect
patient data created and stored using this software, in addition
to security features embedded in the system. Please consult
your institution’s technical services to implement appropriate
security measures.
