C8 Health vs Octagos
Octagos names Epic with SMART on FHIR, Oracle Health, athenahealth, medent and NextGen, and the vendor puts average EHR go-live at 21 days. The vendor describes a two-step service for cardiac device transmissions in which Atlas AI does the first analysis, a US-based specialist finalizes the report and a physician signs it. Tiers run Pro, Premium, Flex and Custom, billed per transmission or at a fixed monthly fee, with no amounts shown. The vendor claims 300+ customers, and its AI overview page does not say whether Atlas AI is FDA-cleared, exempt or non-device.
C8 Health is a hospital purchase aimed at consistent perioperative care, and the vendor says more than 150 institutions trust it. Device transmissions are the input for Octagos and surgical protocols are the content for C8, so a cardiology device clinic and an anesthesia department would each contract with only one of them.
