Capital IQ
Capital IQ brings technician knowledge into hospital capital planning, so every equipment decision starts from what the floor already knows. Capital planning tools start with the asset register. Capital IQ starts with the Company Brain: every repair, repeat failure, workaround, OEM bulletin and technician note. It ranks each asset by its real lifecycle risk and drafts the capital request with the justification already written.
How can AI help with hospital capital planning for medical equipment?
AI helps hospital capital planning by ranking medical equipment on service evidence instead of age alone. It reads work orders, technician notes, OEM end-of-support notices and parts availability, scores each asset's lifecycle risk, recommends replace, refurbish, redeploy or keep, and drafts the capital request with the clinical and operational justification attached.
Repeat-failure and "kept alive" detection from work orders and technician notes, not just work-order counts
End-of-support watch: OEM bulletins, discontinuation notices and unsupported operating systems mapped to the units affected
Parts risk: refurbished-only parts, rising lead times and rising prices flagged as replacement triggers
Lifecycle risk per asset, weighted by clinical criticality, facility level, backup units on site and utilization
Replace, refurbish, redeploy or keep, with cost to keep and cost to replace side by side
Capital requests drafted with failure history, downtime, clinical impact and technician notes, ready to edit
"A failing ventilator at one site is due for replacement, while a low-use unit at another site sits idle. Capital IQ spots the match from service history and utilization, recommends redeploying the idle unit instead of buying a new one, and adds the evidence to the capital committee's file."
Operational Impact
Capital requests built on service evidence, not age and purchase cost alone
Requests from imaging, the OR and ambulatory sites ranked on one scale
Approved projects handed to the capital and ERP systems you already run, with the specification and justification attached
