Case Studies

Research carried out in June 2023 amongst surgeons, theatre practitioners, hospital IT managers, supply chain managers and device manufacturers demonstrate a real need for the ENCODE system.

"Being able to digitally search medical device details inserted into patients rather than searching through a paper operating book would be very beneficial."

"If the Encode Health system links with the local ordering system, it may reduce the long wait times that can lead to stock shortages."

"The validation and alerts for medical devices and implants scanned for a patient procedure would be very useful and could improve patient safety."

"The system could be very useful, particularly around post-market surveillance activities."
