eCART vs Birth Model

Labor and delivery directors get Birth Model: two models predict delivery timing, a seven-day census forecast drives staffing-ratio alerts tied to AWHONN guidance, and postpartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia and shoulder dystocia alerts run alongside. The vendor lists Epic, Oracle Health and athenahealth, states SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA, and does not say whether the hemorrhage and preeclampsia alerts count as device software. Its 99.1% pushing-phase accuracy is the vendor's claim with no study linked, and the one named user is a birth center in New Jersey.

On the AgileMD side, eCART scores hospitalized adults for death or ICU transfer and holds FDA clearance, with no EHR named. The labor floor and the general ward are separate purchases, so no buyer is choosing between these two. A hospital running both units would license each for its own floor.
