Yesterday we met with a new health system that requested a demo through our website. After introductions, we asked a simple question: how did you hear about us? The answer stuck. A traveling nurse who had worked at another hospital using our product told them they had to see it. Called it a game changer. Despite being new to that hospital’s systems, they didn’t need training. It just worked. That’s why we built AssistIQ. To give nurses time back and remove the manual, administrative work that’s become “part of the job” in ORs and procedural rooms. To build something intuitive that works the way clinicians already think. To this nurse, thank you. This is exactly why we do what we do. We will be in touch. Until then, thank you for sharing your experience. cc Amy Brown Shawn Sefton Taylor Smith

Product stickers on scrubs. Barcode scanners that only work some of the time. Manual entry into Epic after the case is over. This is what our team has seen spending time inside dozens of health systems across the US and Canada. A patchwork of workarounds to document what was actually used in the OR and other high cost areas. That patchwork is trying to solve a massive problem. Supply chain is the largest cost category for most health systems after labor, and the OR is often the biggest driver within it. But the data coming out of it is still incomplete or unreliable. And without that, you can’t manage cost, performance, or outcomes. Lisa Israelovitch joined Karen Jagoda on the Empowered Patient Podcast to talk about what it takes to fix this problem in a way that sticks: designing solutions that work inside the clinical workflow, not around it, and the results that follow. Clinicians stay focused on the patient and room, leaders can finally trust the data. 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eJrZeVuD #HealthcareSupplyChain #PerioperativeLeadership #ComputerVision #AssistIQ

A week out from THMA's Chief Supply Chain Officer Forum in Scottsdale with Kenan Yarboro, and one exchange keeps coming back to me. A speaker asked the room how ready their organizations are for AI. Leadership rated themselves an 8.5 out of 10. Frontline staff? Closer to a 3. That gap isn't a communication problem. It's a design problem. When the people closest to the work aren't shaping the solution, friction shows up exactly where you can't afford it — at adoption. And then we wonder why only 1 in 10 AI pilots delivers measurable labor or revenue impact. The health systems making real progress are doing a few things differently: - Treating frontline teams as co-designers, not beta testers - Embedding finance from day one, not validating results after the fact  - Leading change conversations with workload and patient care, not ROI  - Redesigning roles deliberately, before the tools redesign them for us As Ginger Sharp, CMRP from Legacy Health put it: "All too often, role redesign happens to us and not by us." The bar has moved. Soft ROI isn't enough anymore. But hitting hard ROI requires organizational conditions most pilots were never built for. Grateful to THMA for convening the conversation, and to the CSCOs who spoke candidly about where this is actually hard. https://lnkd.in/eZ9NGi3C 

Congratulations to our Co-Founder and CEO, Lisa Israelovitch, on being named to Becker's Healthcare Hospital Review's Great Leaders in Healthcare in 2026. The recognition reflects the work Lisa has led over the past four years at AssistIQ. She took on a problem many health systems had learned to accept: incomplete, manual documentation of high-cost implants, tissue, and supplies. She brought together the right coalition of technologists, healthcare leaders, and operators to solve it from the ground up, while simplifying workflows so clinicians can focus where it matters most. While also earning the trust of leading health systems along the way, including Allina Health, Northwell Health, ProMedica, and Owensboro Health. We're grateful for her leadership and proud to see it recognized.

Our CEO, Lisa Israelovitch, and RVP Kenan Yarboro spent last week at The Health Management Academy's Chief Supply Chain Officer Forum in Scottsdale. Their takeaway? The AI conversation has shifted from theoretical to practical. Health systems are past experimentation and under real pressure to prove measurable financial impact from AI, not just operational improvements. A sobering fact from a panelist:  Only 1 in 10 pilots gets there. The ones that do share a pattern: finance embedded from day one, co-development with frontline teams, and governance built in rather than bolted on.

Our team will be on the ground this week at The Health Management Academy's Chief Supply Chain Officer Forum in Scottsdale. We are looking forward to connecting with supply chain leaders and learning more about how teams are navigating cost pressures, data gaps, and the growing complexity of managing implants, tissue and supplies across the supply chain, especially in the OR and procedural areas. If you will be there, Lisa Israelovitch and Kenan Yarboro would love to connect. #Healthcare #SupplyChain #AI #HealthTech #HospitalLeadership #DigitalHealth #Innovation #HealthcareLeaders

Thrilled to share that we’ve solidified our go-to-market team with three incredibly talented leaders. Please join us in officially welcoming: Kenan Yarboro — RVP, Enterprise Partnerships Stephen Boswell — RVP, Enterprise Partnerships MacKenzie Masten — Director of Marketing From day one, this trio has made an immediate impact by elevating how we scale, refining our story, strengthening customer partnerships, and adding to an already special culture. If you want to join Kenan, Stephen, MacKenzie, and the rest of the growing AIQ crew, check out our open roles (we're hiring in both 🇨🇦 + 🇺🇸) : https://lnkd.in/e2HivKfa

Our fourth annual offsite (this time in Miami ☀️ 🌴) was less about hammering OKRs and success metrics, and more about connecting with and celebrating the 40+ amazing humans who make AIQ and our Customers successful. Yes, we aligned on FY26 goals (and beyond), and sharpened the longer-term horizon Vision. But, we also solidified the foundation — clarifying our purpose and operating pillars by focusing on internal dynamics + team/personal relationships that fuel our cultural connectivity and rapid (sustainable) growth. And we had a lot of fun doing it, too! 🚀 🥂

Last week, the AssistIQ GTM team attended the OR Business Management Summit. It was an incredible few days of meaningful conversations, new connections, and valuable time with our partners. One of my biggest highlights was seeing our partners from ProMedica, Thad (Wadsworth Thadius) and Shannon Holley, take the stage to share their “why” for AssistIQ and lessons learned from implementation. If you have not watched the session yet, it is worth your time. A key takeaway for me came from Thad: if your goal is optimizing OR contribution margin, the number one place to look is supply spend and revenue capture. ProMedica demonstrated true speed to value, achieving a 28% net revenue increase within just a few months. At the same time, they removed manual work for clinicians and gained visibility into non-contracted supplies that were previously invisible. This work is foundational. It is not about adding one more case to the schedule. It is about having holistic visibility into the second largest hospital cost driver, supplies and implants, while giving clinicians time back and leadership data they can act on. We also appreciated time with Christopher Kuehn, MBA and the broader Northwell team, continuing important conversations around the operational and financial improvements we can drive together. AssistIQ investors Brandon Gleklen and Christie Currie joined us as well, connecting directly with providers about their biggest pain points and how they are thinking about AI. The consistent theme was clear: health systems need trusted, accurate data. Computer vision and AI are the only proven way to achieve that at near-perfect accuracy. We also received phenomenal feedback on AssistIQ’s Epic integration, which is cutting hours of manual work daily across multiple teams. Beyond the sessions, it was energizing to reconnect with technology collaborators working to move the industry forward together. If you want to hear directly from ProMedica’s leadership, the full panel discussion is linked in the comments. #ORBusinessManagement #HealthcareInnovation #OperatingRoom #HealthSystemLeadership #AssistIQ
