Octagos is thrilled to announce its selection to join the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program, an invite-only initiative designed for high-growth companies that are transforming industries with AI (artificial intelligence), healthcare innovation, and cybersecurity breakthroughs. 

This recognition places the company among a select group of innovators and gives Octagos access to Microsoft’s global enterprise network, world-class go-to-market experts, and Azure’s secure, AI-optimized cloud infrastructure, a major step forward in its mission to transform remote cardiac care.

Why This Matters

Remote cardiac monitoring is one of the fastest-evolving areas in digital health, but it comes with significant challenges, fragmented data, overwhelming clinical workloads, and delayed interventions. Octagos was built to solve these problems.

Since launching in 2020, Octagos has focused on making cardiac monitoring faster, smarter, and more efficient, helping clinics improve patient care and reduce workloads, achieving:

  • 1 billion+ transmission pages processed into AI-powered clinical reports.
  • 200+ EHR integrations completed, with clinics live in under four weeks.
  • 65% reduction in unnecessary transmissions, freeing providers to focus on high-risk patients.

Being part of the Pegasus Program validates the impact Octagos has already made, and it accelerates what comes next.

The Pegasus Program will help scale these efforts even further, connecting more providers with the tools they need to improve outcomes and save lives.
