... Stryker, I have heard is pretty intense. I don't know Stryker that well, but I have known people who have come from Stryker who tell me it is an excellence-focused company. It is about moving fast, but they are so intense that they lose track of how they are making their employees feel. Culturally, I am not sure that is where I want to be if I want to go back to MedTech. ...

Sectra vs Visage: Implementation Costs & AI Impact to Radiology Software

Partner Interview
Pro MedicusAULarge CapMayo ClinicPhilipsSECTRAMission Critical Products & ServicesEnergyHealth Care

Interview Extract

... I believe the biggest revolutions in AI will come from organizations we've never even heard of today. The reason I believe that is an old axiom in the software development world; the very best person to design and create a new piece of software is someone who has extremely deep domain expertise. The best person to create an AI algorithm that can figure out how to treat a bone fracture is an orthopedic surgeon because they have extremely deep domain expertise. The reason we haven't heard of them is because they may not have yet realized they could do this, or how easy AI systems are to create nowadays using things like Claude and Vibe code. Any of us on this call could create a piece of software in 10 minutes that could do something that wouldn't have even been dreamable five years ago. It's really just a matter of having the idea. Somebody already working in that domain is who's going to have that idea. They will eventually decide to take that step of putting the prompt into Claude and say, create this. They don't have to have FDA approval to start using that themselves for live clinical usage. ...

... I think it's somewhere between a niche and a game changer. It's almost like it's a new market. So, I think the gallium nitride and silicon carbide, the big advantage of these, they call them three-five materials. If you remember your periodic table, right, the region three, region five. These materials are like an extension of gallium arsenide in that they can withstand very high temperatures. Many of these technologies, by the way, came out of the LED lighting space. You've probably heard of Signify, which used to be Philips Lighting in Europe. ...

... I'm not 100% sure about that. I think they won deployment in certain subspecialties at some Kaiser facilities. I believe it was 10 Kaiser facilities, with an option to expand over time. It was a 10-year deal, but I've heard Kaiser has capped Sectra's expansion, sticking to the initial 10 small deployments and remaining with Philips. I don't have inside information from any of those three, including the customer. ...

... More the API side at the moment. I think the Workday agents are relatively new. They're coming out with them now and they are obviously largely within Workday, whereas a lot of the time the demand is more, "Can we pull the data out of Workday, use it in different places, and tie it up with other data in other places to get an outcome?" I think Workday is trying to do more in that space with Sana, their latest acquisition. I'm sure you've heard about Sana Enterprise. I think they are making a play for that. But obviously the biggest challenge we see with a lot of customers who we deal with is there's just so much complexity around AI in terms of who's going to own the enterprise stack for AI in some of these organizations. Is it Microsoft? Is it Google? Is it Workday? You find a lot of organizations have got several different AI tools. I've seen organizations with Claude, with Copilot, with Workday, Asana, etc., and it ends up becoming a bit of a jumble and a bit of a mess because they don't really know how it should all fit together. Should they be picking one tool and just leveraging that, or should they be using different tools in different domains to do different things? And if so, how do they talk to each other? I've not seen huge amounts of it yet, if I'm being honest with you, but Workday's definitely playing on structuring itself as the agent system of record as well. They recognize that fundamentally over time the number of agents that exist within a given organization is going to become quite significant. It could become as many, or if not more, as the number of employees that you have. Who's going to control that? As Workday is now known as a system that controls your people and controls your money, in future, is it going to be a system that helps you control your agents as well? ...

... Comparing Patek Philippe to brands with only 30 to 36 points of sale in the U.S., it's minimal. There are many pockets of wealth where these brands aren't present, and people in those areas don't necessarily want to travel to New York, Beverly Hills, Aspen, or Miami for shopping. Brands like Roberto Coin or David Yurman could fill that gap. ...

I was also a shareholder of TransDigm for many years, so I'm somewhat familiar with TransDigm's business. I want to discuss that towards the end of our call as well. ...
