Glass Health vs KATE
KATE from Mednition goes to a hospital emergency department. It recommends triage acuity and flags sepsis risk from EHR data at triage, and the launch release describes it as decision support for emergency nurses. Mednition lists no public price, only an ROI calculator.
The triage gains of 26.9% overall and 93.2% for high-acuity patients are vendor figures from a 2019 study at Adventist Health White Memorial. KATE Sepsis received a Breakthrough Device Designation in November 2023. That designation is not an FDA clearance or approval, and openFDA returns no match for Mednition or KATE.
Glass Health is a different purchase, a note and differential tool for a clinician or small clinic. It is free on Lite and costs $20, $90 and $200 per month in USD on Starter, Pro and Max, with ad sponsorships on Lite and Starter.
