The Real Question
The verdict is below
How do Octagos and Murj use AI?
Octagos:
Atlas AI ranks every transmission by acuity, then a certified device specialist reviews every one and confirms every finding. Two brains, in that order, every time.
Murj:
Manual workflow requires every transmission to be read by a human first, no 2-brain approach. This can potentially leading to delays in actionable events.
Verdict:
Choose Octagos if you want an efficient, clinically sound, safe Atlas AI workflow to identify and prioritize every transmission, exceeding HRS guidelines, that allows you to surface clinically relevant information.

How does human review compare between Octagos vs Murj?
Octagos:
In the Full-Service model, a US-based, CCT- and IBHRE-certified device specialist assigned to your site reviews every transmission, with provider oversight on all final determinations.
Murj:
Transmissions are reviewed by the clinic’s own team by default. Murj offers clinical review services as a separately purchased add-on.
Verdict:
Choose Octagos if you want a certified device specialist to review every transmission.
%20(1).webp)
How does Billing compare between Octagos vs Murj?
Octagos:
Octagos offers a fee-per-billable model, so you pay only when your clinic bills. A transmission that doesn’t generate a billable event costs you nothing. Per-patient and software-only options are also available.
Murj:
Murj doesn’t publish its pricing. Its platform is software-first and provider-managed, so your own team reviews the transmissions, and that staff time is a cost to your clinic whether or not a transmission is billable.
Verdict:
Octagos offers a pricing model tied to what your clinic bills. Murj doesn’t publish its pricing. For more information on fee structures, request a pro-forma.

The Evidence, and Where It Was Published
99.5%
Accuracy
99.1% Sensitivity. 99.8% Specificity. Two-Brain Approach™ (Atlas plus a certified device specialist), peer-reviewed in JACC: Advances (Bawa et al., 2025).
99.1%
Sensitivity with Atlas AI
Atlas AI on it’s own caught 99.1% of real events and forwarded 40% fewer reports than human review (22.8% vs. 38.5%). Peer-reviewed in JACC: Advances (Bawa et al., 2025).
~60%
Workload reduction
Atlas AI plus IBHRE-certified specialists reduced physician workflow and saved 200+ staff hours per 1,000 patients monthly. (Based on published studies.)
57%
Reduction of non-actionable transmissions
Were redundant or non-actionable across 32,721 patients, and Atlas removed them before they reached staff (Bawa et al., JACC: Advances).
Murj's outcome claims, including care achievement, ROI and processing-time reduction, are company-reported.

Your Data, Moved for You
Our engineers bring over your full EHR history, patients, devices and transmission history.
How we Move it
Engineering-led
Our 50h+ engineers own scoping, transfer, mapping and validation, all in house.
Validated, record by record.
Your team signs off on data integrity before cutover.
Concurrent operations during cutover.
Your patient queue never goes dark. We've moved teams over with zero transmission-gap weeks.
Your data belongs to you, not to your software vendor.
What Comes with You
Patient demographics & locations
Hardware and leads, including model, serial and implant dates
Full encounter history: PDFs, XML, images
Discrete clinical data fields
Advisory and recall tracking
Billing status and CPT history
10 years of transmissions, end to end
Get Paid for the Work you Already Do
An aligned billing model
We offer several pricing options so you can choose the one that fits your clinic. With per-billable pricing, fees apply only to billable transmissions, so your cost follows your billing. If you prefer a predictable monthly cost, per-patient pricing is also available.
Capture what you're already monitoring
Most programs under-bill remote monitoring. Octagos Auto-Biller helps you capture the full set of remote-monitoring CPT codes (93294, 93295, 93296, 93297, 93298), closing the gap between what you monitor and what you collect.
Stop leaving heart-failure revenue on the table
Heart-failure device data runs through the same workflow as your CIED transmissions: scheduled, documented and billed automatically. You're already doing the work. The billing is what's missing.
Give your team their hours back
Same headcount, less burnout, more capacity, and the team working at the top of their license. Our AI and certified device specialists handle the routine reviews for you. Your staff spends their time on the patients who need them most!

Well show you the migration plan and the live product.
Switching from Murj: Common Questions
Will we lose any data in the migration?
No. We migrate 10 years of full history with notes intact, including discrete fields, PDFs, XML, images, advisory tracking and billing status. Your team validates before cutover. There's no charge.
Do we have to pick which years to bring over?
No. Some vendors recommend a selective 3 to 5 year window to keep the project small. We bring everything, because the year you left behind is the year someone asks about in clinic.
Will there be a gap in monitoring during the switch?
No. We run concurrent operations through cutover, and have moved teams off other platforms with zero transmission-gap weeks.
Does Murj have clinical AI?
Murj has strong workflow automation and rules-based triage, but no interpretive model reading transmissions before a human, and no published accuracy. Atlas is peer-reviewed in JACC: Advances at 99.5% accuracy with a certified device specialist confirming every finding.
Murj offers clinical services now too. How is Octagos different?
OnTap staff are certified, and drawn from a shared pool positioned as coverage until your team is self-sufficient. Octagos assigns one named, full-time, US-based CCT and IBHRE certified device specialist to your account, backed by AI. Service is 80 to 90% of what we do.
We like Murj's Docket format. What's the Octagos equivalent?
The End of Cycle Summary gives you the same monitoring-period view, with one difference: AI reads first and the specialist documents every finding, so it isn't assembled by hand. We won't pretend we're a Docket clone.
How fast are transmissions reviewed?
Urgent alerts within one hour and routine transmissions within 24 hours, with clinician review included. That exceeds HRS guidelines.
Can each of our physicians have their own preferences?
Yes. Octagos supports per-physician preferences and scheduling. Practices coming from a one-template setup usually notice this in the first week.
Do you charge for EHR integration?
No. We build every integration in-house, 200+ across 20+ EHRs, including Epic, where we're Showroom-listed. No fee, no outsourced queue, average 20-day go-live.
How long does implementation take?
Average 20-day go-live for the integration. Most programs are fully live on platform, people and AI inside four to six weeks.
Is Octagos SOC 2 and HIPAA compliant?
Yes. Octagos maintains SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 3, HITRUST and HIPAA compliance, with a real-time customer-facing Trust Center.
