eCART vs Bayesian Health

Hospitals shopping for inpatient early-warning software meet two different cleared claims. Bayesian Health's K250680, cleared April 30, 2026, covers sepsis developing within 24 hours in adults and puts a Sepsis Risk High flag in the EHR. eCART's K233253 covers death or ICU transfer in hospitalized ward patients 18 and older. Bayesian's platform also lists deterioration among its target areas, but the clearance covers the sepsis flag. Of these two, only Bayesian has a sepsis clearance, and only eCART has a ward-deterioration clearance. A Yale New Haven analysis of more than 362,000 ward encounters ranked eCART most accurate of six scores, with eCART developers among the authors. Bayesian cites a 2022 Nature Medicine study of its TREWS predecessor, prospective and observational, reporting 18% lower in-hospital mortality when alerts were acted on. The vendor does not say whether the cleared flag matches that version. Medicare's add-on payment of up to $61.84 per eligible fee-for-service inpatient case goes to the hospital.
