Glass Health vs SimpleSense
Glass Health puts an ambient scribe, a cited differential diagnosis and billing suggestions in one workflow. The vendor lists more than 60 document types, among them H&P, ICU progress notes and prior authorization. A 2024 four-case NEJM comparison in The Neurologist scored Glass AI 1 of 4, ChatGPT-4 0 of 4 and the diagnostic generator 4 of 4, small and non-randomized. The company is a Y Combinator W23 graduate based in San Francisco, and Crunchbase lists a $5M seed (currency not stated). An internist wanting notes and a second opinion in one place would start here.
Nanowear sells a cloth garment that captures more than 85 biomarkers from the skin, according to the vendor. OpenFDA shows four 510(k) clearances, all Substantially Equivalent, while the homepage describes the platform and garment as "FDA approved." The company is based in Brooklyn, and heart failure programs enrolling patients at home are the setting it targets. One tool documents and reasons through an encounter while the other collects sensor data away from the clinic.
