Kardia 12L vs Octagos

Octagos sells remote cardiac device monitoring as a service. Its Atlas AI sorts implantable device transmissions, an IBHRE-certified US specialist reviews them, and the vendor says a physician e-signature closes every report. Epic through SMART on FHIR, Oracle Health, athenahealth, medent and NextGen are the named EHRs, and the vendor claims 300+ customers and an average of 21 days to EHR go-live. Its AI overview makes no FDA statement. Octagos suits a cardiology practice whose pacemaker and ICD transmission queue has outgrown its staff. Kardia 12L records a 12-lead tracing in that practice's exam room, and AliveCor's security page lists ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 covering Kardia AI V2 and Corvair. One practice can own both because they do different jobs. Tier choice at Octagos decides how much of the work it hands over: Pro is software only, Premium adds clinical and patient engagement services, and no amounts are listed.
