eCART vs Kardia 12L
A cardiology practice weighing a point-of-care 12-lead tracing would start with Kardia 12L, listed at $2,295 in USD with the device, the KardiaStation app, KardiaPro access and a 3-year warranty. The page does not say whether that fee recurs. AliveCor counts 39 FDA-cleared determinations in its AI, and its security page states SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001, and eligible US clinicians can request a two-week trial by form. A hospital nursing or quality team that wants early warning on its wards would start with eCART, which K233253 clears to score patients 18 and older for death or ICU transfer, with reporting at system, facility, unit and provider level. Where AliveCor posts a price, AgileMD posts none, and the vendor site offers a demo request only.
