Speaker 1: provide healthcare educators and clinicians with innovative video driven solutions
Speaker 1: to stop this. A company providing technology innovative technology to
Speaker 1: over four hundred fifty medical schools, nursing schools, hospitals of
Speaker 1: all kinds. During US now here in our New York studios.
Speaker 1: Hartley Thompson, he's the president of Beeline Medical. He's usually
Speaker 1: in watching d C. Butts out me to people like
Speaker 1: us today, welcome, thank you, Caffeine's a pleasure to be here.
Speaker 1: So what do you do? I'm gonna sit down and
Speaker 1: watch a video what I'm a I'm a nurse, um,
Speaker 1: I'm a young doctor. How much difference does that make?
Speaker 1: So a good way to think about it is to
Speaker 1: look at it as an intelligent instant replace them. So
Speaker 1: if you look at the way that professional sports are
Speaker 1: records of the NFL, they record everything that happens if
Speaker 1: they play it back to improve performance. So we provide
Speaker 1: is a similar type platform for both healthcare students, so
Speaker 1: medical school students, nursing school students, pharmacy students, et cetera,
Speaker 1: and as well as clinicians. So when they actually start
Speaker 1: treating real patients, were also recording everything that's happening at
Speaker 1: the point of care that's delivered in operating room's trauma base.
Speaker 1: Uh I see use, et cetera. And that's used for
Speaker 1: educational purposes. After the fact, so it's used to see
Speaker 1: if the mistake was made or to review and say,
Speaker 1: this is what she did really well, this is what
Speaker 1: you didn't do so well, And again it's all about
Speaker 1: improving outcomes at the end of the day. Tell us
Speaker 1: about robotic surgery because I note that recently you've joined
Speaker 1: to support fundamentals of robotic surgery. You're providing a cloud
Speaker 1: based video capture program. That's correct. So robotic surgery is
Speaker 1: something that's as it around for a little while, but
Speaker 1: it's really starting to take to take off a lot
Speaker 1: more in hospitals where the surgeons are actually using an
Speaker 1: instrument that has a much smaller arms that they can
Speaker 1: that they control, and they also have a pedal control
Speaker 1: so they able to make a much more precise incisions,
Speaker 1: so the recovery time is a lot better and also
Speaker 1: the outcomes are a lot better. So what we're providing
Speaker 1: is a platform that actually records the video and the
Speaker 1: audio of the either the surgery being used in training
Speaker 1: or actually on real live patients, and they go back
Speaker 1: and review and look to see what we could have
Speaker 1: done better using the robotic h surgery device. So you're
Speaker 1: in over four and fifty medical institutions. Uh, the company
Speaker 1: you aren't joined the company in two thousands seven, it's
Speaker 1: about eleven years old. You are you guys who studied
Speaker 1: information managements? Really a dream fit for you? What about
Speaker 1: the business model? What kind of money you can can
Speaker 1: you make on this? You've got all kinds of pressures
Speaker 1: now on providers and cutting costs. Where does that lead be?
Speaker 1: Line medical? So that actually leaves us in a very
Speaker 1: good position as far as business goes. So our business
Speaker 1: model is we sell a perpetual license model currently, so
Speaker 1: the medical schools and nursing schools are hospitals. They pay
Speaker 1: for the product, so it's combined hardware and software platform,
Speaker 1: So they pay a one time fee upfront for the product,
Speaker 1: We do the implementation, and then they pay for annual
Speaker 1: support and maintenance on a recurring basis year over year.
Speaker 1: So it's a really good position for us to be
Speaker 1: in because, as you mentioned, hospitals are now shifting to
Speaker 1: more of a pay for value model that's compared to
Speaker 1: pay for service. So we feel that we're well positioned
Speaker 1: to take advantage of that and provide a tool that
Speaker 1: can actually assist hospitals in figuring out why your outcomes
Speaker 1: are where they are, and how to improve your outcomes
Speaker 1: and also improve ultimately patient safety and patient satisfaction. Do
Speaker 1: you have the black box with you? I do not
Speaker 1: have it with me? And help people what is what
Speaker 1: is in the black box? So in the black box
Speaker 1: is a device that actually cap years the video and audio,
Speaker 1: so we call it an encolder, And we also have
Speaker 1: two cameras, and we also have a device that captures
Speaker 1: the patient monitor display. And that's useful for the replay
Speaker 1: aspect because you're able to tie what's actually happening with
Speaker 1: either the simulated patient or the real patient as far
Speaker 1: as the oxygen level, of the heart rate, blood pressure,
Speaker 1: et cetera, with exactly what's happening at that point of
Speaker 1: time of the action that's being performed during that point
Speaker 1: in time. So that's what comes in in the black box.
Speaker 1: So how far are you going to take this? Heartly?
Speaker 1: How big can this company get? Where do you want
Speaker 1: to go? Do you want to expand in products and services?
Speaker 1: If you want to work about global what kind of
Speaker 1: profitability and impact you for see for Bline Medical. So
Speaker 1: we're wake up every day, we're taking it to the moon.
Speaker 1: So you know, again it's a huge market for us
Speaker 1: to grow in, and we are profitable. We've been profitable
Speaker 1: for the last five years. You know, we're in the
Speaker 1: double digit millions in in revenue and we're looking for
Speaker 1: fift growth actually on pace this year over five years ago,
Speaker 1: over the last five years. So it's a really good
Speaker 1: market to be in. It's exciting. You know. We look
Speaker 1: at simulation is a really good market that we're the
Speaker 1: number one trusted platform and provider in that market. And
Speaker 1: we're looking at the clinical space now as a huge opportunity.
Speaker 1: So we see it as anywhere from seven and fifty
Speaker 1: millions to a billion dollar potential market size. Thanks very
Speaker 1: much for coming in and sharing this information with as.
