AI for 90% Reduction in Surgical Instrument Kit Processing Time (test)

Discover how Medloaner cut surgical kit reprocessing time by 90% -- combining computer vision with a deep understanding of healthcare’s regulatory and relational landscape.

The expert: Kip Pogrebenko, CEO and Co-Founder of Medloaner.
