Eko Foundation Analysis Software with Transformers (EFAST) vs IM007
Similar category, different focus. These tools serve overlapping but distinct needs.
Comparability 65/100
Comparability is an AI-graded 0–100 score of how directly these two tools compete — higher means a more apples-to-apples comparison.
AI Verdict
EFAST is designed for real-time, point-of-care detection of structural murmurs and atrial fibrillation during routine physical exams using a digital stethoscope. In contrast, IM007 is a remote monitoring platform that aggregates and analyzes data from cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) to streamline workflows and manage alerts for patients with such devices. While both leverage AI in cardiology, EFAST focuses on initial diagnostic insights from auscultation, whereas IM007 specializes in the ongoing management and monitoring of patients with implanted cardiac devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
EFAST by Eko Health is an AI model that assists clinicians in identifying structural murmurs associated with heart disease and detecting atrial fibrillation during routine exams, providing real-time cardiac insights. In contrast, IM007 by Implicity is an AI-powered, cloud-based platform for remote cardiac monitoring, aggregating data from all cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) to streamline workflows and reduce false alerts.
EFAST focuses on the real-time detection of structural murmurs and atrial fibrillation during auscultation, with reported sensitivities of 93% and 95% respectively. IM007 specializes in analyzing data from cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), offering AI-driven alert management to reduce false positives (e.g., 79% for ILR ECG Analyzer) and predictive AI for heart failure hospitalization risk (SignalHF).
EFAST integrates seamlessly with Eko digital stethoscopes, such as the CORE 500, to provide real-time AI analysis during auscultation. IM007 aggregates data from various cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) from manufacturers including Abbott, Biotronik, Boston Scientific, Medtronic, and MicroPort.
EFAST provides real-time AI analysis during auscultation for structural murmur detection (93% sensitivity, 91% specificity) and AFib detection (95% sensitivity, 94% specificity), offering immediate actionable insights. IM007 uses AI for alert management, reducing false positives from CIEDs, and includes FDA-cleared AI for ICM ECG data analysis (ILR ECG Analyzer) and predictive AI for heart failure hospitalization risk (SignalHF).
EFAST is designed for Cardiology, Family Medicine, and Internal Medicine, supporting routine cardiac assessments at the point of care. IM007 is primarily aimed at Cardiology and Hospital Medicine, focusing on the remote management of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices.
Yes, both tools offer EMR/EHR integration capabilities. EFAST provides EMR integration for streamlined documentation. IM007 features EHR integration capabilities through a bidirectional API and integration framework.
