Global component sourcing for innovation in medical technology
International defence company Babcock International Group, working with German medical equipment specialist Draegerwerk, had the Zephyr Plus ventilator market-ready in just 70 days using tried and tested medical components. In similar fashion, BAE Systems’ entirely-new AirCare ventilator, again reliant on readily-available parts, was able to go into production in just three weeks with a production target of 1,000 units per week.
We were honoured to support supply chain requirements in both cases and have continued our involvement in the medical sector by investing, adapting, building on, and evolving our capabilities – as we always have done with all of our customers’ requirements.
Astute provides an all-encompassing supply-chain solution. With technical product management for over 70+ electronic component manufacturers and in-house logistics expertise, we can help consolidate complex project elements to enable you to concentrate on your core purpose and areas of operation.
Meeting this challenge, Astute has formed a strategic alliance with California-based medical pioneers Level42 AI to supply their contactless and non-invasive disease screening and health diagnostic equipment. The AI-powered equipment provides early, accurate, and instantaneous detection and monitoring of infection and non-communicable illness as well as vital-sign monitoring.
Level42’s AI platform ‘learns’ to distinguish ‘healthy’ people from ‘sick’ at both the individual level and at mass population scale. The technology is contactless – capable of scanning through layers of clothing to determine signs of the current and future health of the subject as well as providing health professionals with actionable diagnostics.
