Generic rideshare is designed for "curb-to-curb" convenience. Healthcare requires "bed-to-bed" accountability. Eightway drivers are trained specifically for the post-acute and surgical environment. We don't just pick up a "passenger"; we transition a patient. This reduces the facility's liability and ensures a seamless handoff that protects the patient's recovery milestones.

Our competitors wait for a nurse to pick up the phone or click a button. By the time that happens, the bottleneck has already formed. OCTA's Heuristic Predictive Engine "listens" to the clinical flow. We are already dispatching the vehicle while the patient is still in the final stages of recovery, ensuring the car is at the curb before the discharge papers are even signed.

While we integrate with EHRs, we have built a proprietary data silo. We pull the logistics triggers without exposing the full medical records to the transport layer. This allows hospitals to scale their transport volume without increasing their HIPAA risk profile—a major hurdle for most software-only startups.

Most tech companies in this space don't own cars; they are at the mercy of third-party contractors. Because OCTA is powered by Eightway Transport LLC, we have the "boots on the ground." We control the quality of the vehicle, the training of the driver, and the reliability of the schedule. This vertical integration ensures that our software's promises are actually kept at the curb.
