Eko Health vs KATE
An emergency department's nursing leadership is who Mednition's KATE is built for, with a triage acuity recommendation and a sepsis flag drawn from EHR data at the triage desk. Eko sells to the clinician who listens to the heart, through a digital stethoscope with AI murmur analysis.
Eko holds ten 510(k) clearances. Mednition has a Breakthrough Device Designation for KATE Sepsis, announced November 14, 2023, which is a designation and not a clearance, and openFDA shows no K or De Novo number for it. Wikipedia reports that Eko's SENSORA tier received CPT Category III status in 2024 and CMS OPPS payment in 2025, and the vendor claims more than 750,000 devices sold.
Mednition names Adventist Health White Memorial and Adventist Health Glendale as customers. Its 2019 release says it raised a $10M Series A, and Tracxn lists that as its only round. It shows an ROI calculator in place of a price, and its 2019 triage-accuracy figure, up 26.9% overall at White Memorial, is the vendor's own and was still in peer review at the time.
