Bayesian Health vs C8 Health
A hospital quality lead who owns sepsis outcomes is Bayesian Health's buyer, and a perioperative or anesthesiology chief is C8 Health's. The tools attach to different clinical questions. Bayesian's software was cleared by FDA (K250680) and shows a "Sepsis Risk High" flag in the EHR for adults, looking 24 hours ahead.
C8 serves perioperative care, with ERAS compliance, glucose management and surgical site infection in its proof library. It makes no FDA claim on its pages, and openFDA lists no record under C8 Health. The vendor says its assistant answers only from the hospital's own content. A usability survey of 142 MetroHealth anesthesiology clinicians gave a mean of 5.73 on the MAUQ, with C8's chief medical officer and an advisory-board member among the authors. MetroHealth's internal figures, which the vendor reports, show ERAS compliance rising from 65% to 88% in five months. C8's pages name no EHR and say integration "requires a light lift from your internal IT teams."
