US Med-Equip CIO Antonio Marin on genAI's impact in healthcare IT

In all of the different industries that you have worked in before, has there been an end customer? that has been in healthcare situations or is healthcare a whole new area for you with the, with the many places that you have brought your, your it leadership to in the past?

Well, I've been in different industries where it is the end result is helping somebody, but I've never been an industry like this one where you have a direct impact into somebody's life.

Um, I'm actually not only a member of USME, but also I've been a customer.

You have.

So this is one of those things where you realize that the work that we do here as a father

has

been in a situation where we need medical equipment.

The work that we do here means something way more than just the process of what we do every single day.

We have wonderful stories.

Every day is a new story here.

And we have phenomenal and wonderful stories of patients that recover faster because we brought the equipment on time.

Patients that were able to get the equipment and the nurses were able to act upon it immediately that could save somebody's life.

And we have other stories of employees of ours, biomed technicians, who unfortunately had a relative in the hospital.

And when they check the equipment, it's the same equipment they work on before.

So we are in one way or in many ways connected, not only to our partner hospitals, but also to the patients they serve.

Okay.

Interesting.

And that must make for a different way, kind of a different impact on just on you personally, having this kind of a CIO role.

put it put it this way it makes my days go so quickly so fast and so rewarding it is really rewarding to know that because of the work we've done here somebody's going to go home in a better health than when they arrive to a hospital we're a little bit we're a small part a little bit part of the of the equation but we're part of the equation

Yes.

Well, and that personal connection that your tech team and probably the, now the whole company is about 700 people across the country, right? Tell us about the size and scope of your technology team.

I know you can be a multi-billion dollar company, but only be running IT with a handful of really dedicated ninjas.

So tell us about the tech team and also a little something about your marching orders when you came in, in January of 22, it's almost three years now.

Almost three years of excitement.

So the team is here in the United States is 19 people.
