SimpleSense vs PaceMate
PaceMate says Auto-Triage sorts a cardiac device clinic's alert queue by clinical priority and Auto-Script drafts a preliminary report. The vendor lists bi-directional links to Epic, Oracle Health and athenahealth. PaceMate's homepage, platform, security and pricing pages state nothing on FDA status, and openFDA lists no PaceMate applicant. The one device-name hit is a 1990 Elecath catheter.
Nanowear sells a cloth sensor garment with cloud analytics for heart failure monitoring and cuffless blood pressure, and openFDA lists four Nanowear 510(k)s from K161431 in 2016 to SimpleSense-BP K232053 in December 2023. The scope of K212160 for heart failure alerts is not documented. Nanowear's site shows no public price and names no customers. A heart failure or hypertension program is Nanowear's buyer. A device clinic managing implants and loop recorders is PaceMate's.
