Case Study: Medical Advocacy and Outreach Incorporated treats 800 rural HIV patients virtually with Eko Health

Medical Advocacy and Outreach Incorporated - Customer Case Study

Medical Advocacy and Outreach Incorporated, a non-profit dedicated to serving HIV patients in rural Alabama, faced the challenge of connecting a small number of specialized doctors with patients who lived hours away from urban clinics to ensure they maintained regular, life-saving treatments. To bridge this gap, they turned to Eko Health for a telehealth solution.

Eko implemented its CORE digital stethoscope and telehealth platform, enabling nurses at rural clinics to capture and stream high-quality heart and lung sounds to remote clinicians in real time. This solution allowed the organization to treat 800 patients via telehealth. The measurable impact was significant: telehealth patients had a 96% appointment adherence rate and a 97% medication adherence rate, with 93% achieving virus suppression, far outperforming the organization's averages. Eko's technology was pivotal in achieving these outcomes.
