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 groundbreaking 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,” said
Trina Spear, CEO and Co-Founder of FIGS. “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 unrivaled 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,” said Connor Landgraf, Co-Founder and CEO at
Eko. “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.”
The FIGS | Eko CORE 500™ Digital Stethoscope is available
exclusively at www.wearfigs.com and through the FIGS App for sale
in the United States. All editions of the CORE 500™ Digital
Stethoscope, first launched by Eko in June 2023, are for healthcare

features supported by Eko’s AI software are currently limited to
