There’s an inherent problem in today’s medical industry where technology can perform and manage mundane tasks to a finer degree than a human counterpart could. BH2 Innovations introduces WatchDog™, a singularly intelligent and powerful AI software system, designed to be integrated in all instrument inspection stations used in the Sterilization Processing Departments (SPDs) of hospitals and Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs).
By using deep learning software to inspect and manage a large portion of hospital equipment, it frees up medical staff who would normally be tasked with inspecting and cataloging the equipment, and allows for an AI system to catch what may be missed due to human error.

Will detect and notify staff of damage and imperfections at an early stage. Will note the progression of damage as it evolves from slight to moderate to severe.
Will detect and notify bioburden (blood, tissue, stains) and alert technicians when hazardous material remains present on an instrument.
Predictive analytics will help manufacturers and SPDs learn when instruments and equipment will need to be repaired ahead of time!
WatchDog will detect defects early on so that instruments can be removed from service before they fail catastrophically during a patient procedure.
WatchDog will preemptively intercept and notify staff when an instrument has a condition hazardous to patient safety, thereby reducing instrument-associated infections.
WatchDog will render decision support to inform staff what they are seeing, and will render options for corrective action.
WatchDog’s ability to detect mechanical damage at an early stage enables instruments to be removed from service while repair costs are relatively low.
