Octagos Named Among TIME's World's Top HealthTech Companies 2025

Exclusive Recognition Highlights Octagos as the First Choice in Remote Cardiac Monitoring

HOUSTON, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Octagos, the leader in AI-enabled, vendor-agnostic cardiac remote monitoring, has been named one of the World's Top HealthTech Companies 2025 by TIME. This inaugural ranking highlights 400 companies worldwide, with Octagos earning a place among just 82 companies recognized in the highly competitive AI & Data Analytics category – and standing alone as the only remote cardiac monitoring company to earn recognition.

Octagos earned recognition due to performance in three categories:

1. Financial: stability, growth potential, and operational efficiency.  
2. Reputation: public perception, sentiment, visibility, and credibility across news coverage, blogs, forums, and social media activity. 
3. Engagement: reach and engagement levels achieved through digital platforms.

Founded in Houston in 2020 by an electrophysiologist, Octagos has rapidly evolved from an innovative startup into the first choice for clinics, hospitals, and health systems modernizing their cardiac monitoring programs. Backed by investment from Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital and selected for Microsoft's exclusive Pegasus Program, Octagos has been recognized as a growth-stage healthcare company with proven scale and impact. These external endorsements, now reinforced by inclusion in TIME's global ranking, highlight Octagos' position as a technology-forward partner trusted by both industry leaders and independent evaluators.

"TIME's recognition reflects what our customers experience every day: Octagos brings clarity, accuracy, and speed to cardiac care," said Dr. Shanti Bansal, Founder and CEO of Octagos. "Many who have switched from legacy systems or competitors tell us they have faced long implementations, hidden fees, backlogged reports, and even limits on accessing their own patient data.  With Octagos, the experience is fast, transparent, and reliable. To the hospitals and health systems that already trust us, thank you. And to those considering a switch, this recognition is a clear signal that you can feel confident in choosing Octagos."

Most Octagos implementations are completed in less than four weeks, and clinics retain access to their full historical patient data, often more than ten years, when migrating from legacy platforms. The company's Human-in-the-Loop AI approach, which combines accredited US-based cardiac device experts and proprietary Atlas AI™, has been validated in peer-reviewed research, showing reductions in alert burden while increasing accuracy of clinical interpretations. Octagos technology rapidly integrates with electronic health records, using SMART on FHIR standards and single sign-on protocols to ensure secure, efficient workflows for hospitals and health systems. Octagos continues to innovate with app-based technology, offering  OctaLink, a clinical companion app for mobile access to the Octagos platform on iOS and Android, and OctaCare, a patient-facing app in pre-commercial release.

"Being selected by TIME is especially meaningful because the evaluation spanned financial performance, industry reputation, and online engagement," said Eric Olsen, Chief Operating Officer of Octagos. "Excelling across all three demonstrates the strength of our business and the trust we've earned in the market. For our customers, it reinforces confidence that they are aligned with the leader in remote cardiac monitoring. And for those exploring their options, it offers independent confirmation that Octagos has the scale, stability, and innovation to support them - not just today, but for years to come."

Octagos' selection to TIME's World's Top HealthTech Companies 2025 confirms its role as a trusted partner in cardiac remote monitoring. Recognized for strength, reputation, and engagement, and supported by Microsoft's Pegasus Program and Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital, Octagos offers hospitals and health systems a partner they can depend on as they modernize cardiac care.
