Frequently asked questions.
What is Eko Vet+™ | CANINEBEAT™ Al?
Eko Vet+™ | CANINEBEAT™ AI is a three-part solution combining the Eko CORE™, the Eko Vet+™ App (both developed and manufactured by Eko Health, Inc.), and the CANINEBEAT™ AI algorithm provided by Boehringer Ingelheim for integration into the Eko Vet+™ App.
The CANINEBEAT™ AI algorithm was developed, trained and validated with input from 50 veterinary cardiologists and renowned experts including Prof. Gerhard Wess, Prof. Jens Häggström, and Assoc. Prof. Ingrid Ljungvall. Valuable contributions were also received from Profs. Sonya Gordon and Brian Scansen for expert sound annotation and consultancy.
It helps veterinarians detect and grade* canine heart murmurs, see findings in real time, and have more confident conversations with pet owners — all from a single 5-second recording.
*CANINEBEAT™ AI analyzes heart sounds and classifies murmur loudness using a modified Levine intensity scale.
How do I get my complimentary Eko Vet+™ membership?
If you are a paying Eko+ member and a veterinary professional, you get a complimentary period of Eko Vet+™, which concludes on April 28, 2027.
To get started, log in to the Eko Vet+™ App with your Eko+ credentials. If you see a paywall, please close the app and try again. If the issue persists, please contact Eko customer support.
I'm a paying Eko+ member and also paid for Eko Vet+™ without realizing it was free. Can I get a refund?
Yes, we will refund you your purchase of Eko Vet+™. Please contact Eko customer support for assistance.
What should I do with my Eko+ membership?
You can choose to continue using both apps if that works well for you. If you choose to start only using Eko Vet+™, you can cancel your Eko+ membership at any time. Upon renewal of your Eko+ membership, you will be charged for another year if you don't cancel it.
What if I accidentally paid for Eko+ but want Eko Vet+™ instead?
We can refund you your purchase of Eko+ and you can subscribe to Eko Vet+™. Please contact Eko customer support for assistance.
What does a typical exam look like?
After attaching your Eko device, open the Eko Vet+™ App and auscultate as you normally would while the app captures a 5-second heart sound recording. Enter the dog's details — breed size, age, and recording location.
CANINEBEAT™ AI analyzes the recording and returns a murmur detection result and grade* in seconds. From there, you can view a heart sound graph, review the disease finding, and share a report with the pet owner — all before leaving the exam room.

How does CANINEBEAT™ AI work?
CANINEBEAT™ AI uses advanced machine learning to analyze a recorded heart sound alongside patient information you enter — including the dog's breed size, age, and recording location. It detects the presence of a murmur, classifies its intensity as soft, moderate, or loud, and provides a suggested disease finding to help guide your next steps.
It's important to note that CANINEBEAT™ AI is a clinical decision support tool, not a diagnostic one. Results are intended to assist your judgment, not replace it, and a comprehensive cardiac auscultation exam is always recommended. Further investigation — such as echocardiography or radiography — may be needed, and all findings should be interpreted by a veterinarian.
Is CANINEBEAT™ AI validated for species other than dogs?
Not currently. CANINEBEAT™ AI has been validated specifically for canine patients. It is not validated for feline, equine, or other species at this time.
