C8 Health vs Glass Health
Glass Health costs $0 per month for Lite and $20 per month for Starter, both with ad sponsorships, $90 per month for ad-free Pro, and $200 per month for Max. Max is the only tier with assisted EHR workflows for Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks and Elation. C8 Health has no public price, states SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance, and its homepage names no EHR. Its Panda AI searches only the hospital's vetted knowledge, while Glass draws on what it calls 38M+ peer-reviewed citations, guidelines and 150,000+ FDA drug labels.
A clinic choosing a scribe and differential tool is Glass's buyer, and a health system standardizing protocols is C8's. A 2024 paper in The Neurologist ran four NEJM cases: Glass's AI was right on 1 of 4, ChatGPT-4 on 0 of 4 and the diagnostic generator on 4 of 4, a small, non-randomized comparison. C8 has a usability survey of anesthesiology clinicians and vendor-reported outcome figures.
