Octagos

Most clinicians are right to be skeptical of a new tool on day one.

Dr. Ganesh Venkataraman, a cardiac electrophysiologist at Colorado Heart and Vascular, spent several months testing that instinct against Octagos's Atlas AI™ before it earned a place in his workflow, one where a qualified clinician still reviews every transmission.

Our eClinicalWorks integration, end-to-end.

Inbound from eCW: demographics, appointments, orders, active medications, medical history, insurance coverage.

Outbound from Octagos: the e-signed report filed directly in the patient's chart, and automated claims creation.

That connection is moving to FHIR APIs, so the patient's record arrives with the transmission.

The device specialist reads with the full clinical picture in front of them. Atlas AI™ prioritizes by acuity, and a certified clinician reviews every transmission under the Two-Brain Approach™.
Built and maintained by our own engineers, at no cost to the clinic.

"We are 98% compliant now with billing and with our 30- and 90-day checks. When I first started my office job, we were 56% compliant."

Chris Porterfield, MD, Aurora Denver Cardiology, in the new EP Lab Digest supplement on what it takes to scale a remote monitoring program.

Seven CIED management vendors answered the same fourteen questions inside.

2.6% of patients generated 36% of all transmissions.

In a clinic of nearly 6,000 patients, that's the kind of number that quietly reshapes how you staff, prioritize, and protect your team's time.

Alanna Miller's team at Penn Medicine surfaced it with Octagos and it's a pattern almost every device clinic is living but few can actually see.

When a tiny fraction of your panel drives a third of your workload, "work harder" isn't the answer. Visibility is.

Early warnings only help if someone acts on them.

That was the gap at Penn Medicine. The device data was already flagging heart-failure risk weeks ahead, but the response wasn't built to keep up.

Instead of adding staff, the team turned that data into a simple, repeatable pathway and scaled their heart-failure program almost 9x in a single quarter.

Swipe through for the workflow they built and the numbers behind it.

Most clinics stay on a mediocre monitoring setup for one reason: switching sounds painful.

Dr. Ganesh Venkataraman of Colorado Heart & Vascular calls the move to Octagos "a quantum leap,” and says the transition was the smooth part.

Operational efficiency up significantly. Onboarding, he describes as "incredibly smooth." Every question his team had was answered well.

That's the quiet story behind remote monitoring: the platform matters, but the team behind it is what makes a switch feel like a leap forward instead of a leap of faith.

🎥 Watch Dr. Venkataraman on what changed.

"It's really changed for the better." — Ganesh Venkataraman, MD, FACC, Cardiac Electrophysiologist, Colorado Heart & Vascular

"Before, it was just: okay, I survived the day."

For device clinic staff, the weight isn't only the workload — it's the not knowing. Did I miss an alert? Is that patient okay? Carrying those questions home is how good people burn out.

One of our customers describes logging into the patient portals now and finding them empty — because Octagos keeps them cleaned out. No backlog. No dread. Leaving work without wondering what slipped through.

"Survived the day" became "today's a good day."

Better monitoring isn't just better for patients. It's better for the people doing the monitoring.

🎥 Hear Karen tell it.

"That's a really good day — where before it was just, okay, I survived the day." — Karen Strout, Device Technician, Cardiology Clinic, Dartmouth Health

Less than 40% of patients monitored. Then 95–98%. Same clinic.

That's the before-and-after Dr. Benjamin D'Souza describes at Penn Medicine, one of the most respected cardiology programs in the country.

They started with no dedicated remote monitoring platform, running everything in-house. When they looked honestly at their own data, they were reliably following fewer than 40% of their device patients.

Today? 95–98%.

For a CIED patient, "monitored" isn't a metric, it's the difference between a caught event and a missed one.

🎥 Hear Dr. D'Souza tell it in his own words.

"The proof is in the pudding." — Benjamin A. D'Souza, MD, FACC, FHRS, Section Chief & Director of the Electrophysiology Lab, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center (Penn Medicine)

Signing a report has always meant getting back to a workstation, and you are rarely sitting at one. So the queue backs up.

OctaLink puts it on your phone. Open a transmission, read it, e-sign it, or clear the routine stack at once. Between cases, between sites, wherever there's a spare minute.

Signed today beats signed Thursday. Billed this cycle beats next.

A monitor that isn't plugged in isn't monitoring anyone.

The 2023 HRS consensus is blunt: reconnecting silent patients is the clinic's job. Most clinics can't staff it.

So we do. Every night, Octagos sweeps the full panel, flags everyone who's gone quiet, and puts real people on the phone until the transmission sends.

Reconnection, handled every single night, for every patient on the panel.
