The main problem that MediShout is looking to solve is that hospitals typically use hundreds of different systems from different suppliers, each with very different processes and approaches to communication \u2014 this spans facilities, porters, equipment, sterile services, IT, HR and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis makes healthcare ecosystems extremely complex and difficult for staff to navigate, so they can\u2019t provide efficient care to patients,\u201d Kalraiya said. \u201cWe solve this issue by providing the world\u2019s first app which unifies all helpdesks, supplier and operational departments.\u201d<\/p>\n

MediShout\u2019s biggest customers are medical device and facilities management companies, which pay MediShout via a monthly subscription to plug into its platform, which then digitizes and bridges their services for hospitals, most of which are part of the NHS.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne supplier is currently scaling us to more than 100 hospitals in the U.K. and abroad,\u201d Kalraiya said. \u201cWe do also sell directly to hospitals, in particular the NHS.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kalraiya also said that it has some AI work currently in its R&D phase, which \u2014 when commercialized \u2014 could help predict when future issues may occur. For this, the company can look at, say, all the medical equipment data from hospitals, including details on equipment that has broken over the past 15 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on usage and repair frequency we started to predict when equipment like ECG (electrocardiography) machines were likely to break down,\u201d Kalraiya said. \u201cYou can then do planned maintenance to prevent breakdowns <\/span>occurring.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

MediShout, which has 22 employees today,\u00a0is currently operational in the U.K. and Ireland, though with its fresh cash injection it\u2019s looking to expand further afield into mainland Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve worked as a surgeon in many countries, and these [operational] problems exist everywhere,\u201d Kalraiya added.<\/p>\n
