- state-of-the-art sterilization systems that seamlessly integrate into existing hospital infrastructures to speed up the processes and protect patients and workers from the spread of dangerous infection including COVID; and,
- software systems and AI technologies that can help hospitals work more efficiently by managing services better so more patients can gain access to care as quickly as possible
