Eko → Creating a category defining brand in cardio-pulmonary disease detection.
Eko is an Oakland-based cardio-pulmonary-AI startup that is on a mission to level the playing field against heart and lung disease. By placing a figurative cardiologist in every clinician's pocket, their platform could potentially bring the power of early detection to each exam. By 2019, with FDA clearance, Eko's technology was maturing, and now it was time to build a brand platform to support its growth in enterprise and direct-to-clinician e-commerce.
We are scientists. Eko is passionate about understanding and finding better ways to understand the heart. Through thoughtful research and study we are constantly expanding our knowledge.
We are community. Eko is here to care for people in the best way we can—by making cardiac care better for everyone. The foundation of our community may be clinicians, but the patient is at the heart of everything we do.
We are advocates. Eko is focused on providing solutions; we don’t dwell on setbacks. We present clinicians with support and opportunities to elevate their practice, not call out their shortcomings.
We are innovators. Eko is dedicated to supporting clinicians at every step of their practice. We are always looking for new, meaningful ways to share and provide access to the tools we’ve developed.
Our promise to clinicians – Hear clearly. Care confidently. – is always expressed through our photography. Represent the empathy clinicians bring to their work and showcase the many ways Eko fits into clinical settings.
So much innovation goes into hardware design, and we wanted to honor that craft in our product photography. Our almost manic obsession with light and shadows produced some very iconic product images.
