Wertek AI for the healthcare / clinical sector
Market context
Hospitals and clinics in Mexico and LatAm operate two asset fleets at once: the biomedical equipment (imaging, radiotherapy, laboratory) and the infrastructure that keeps it alive (chillers, operating-room HVAC, emergency power plants, medical gases, UPS). Every hour a magnetic resonance imager or a CT scanner is out of service means dozens of canceled studies, rescheduled patients, and lost revenue — and a good part of those failures do not originate in the medical equipment but in its support infrastructure: a failing chiller can take an entire MRI out of operation. At the same time, manufacturer service contracts are costly and closed by brand, and accreditations and audits require maintenance evidence that in many institutions lives scattered across folders and spreadsheets. The pressure is twofold: protect the availability of multimillion-dollar equipment and demonstrate, with evidence, that maintenance is being fulfilled.
Sector pain points
- Incomplete or outdated biomedical inventory. The equipment census lives in Excel; no one knows for certain how many devices there are, where they are, or what their history is.
- Extremely costly imaging downtime. The highest-value equipment (MRI, CT, linear accelerators) usually gets reactive maintenance outside the manufacturer's contract — the failure is discovered once the study can no longer be done.
- Fragmented view by brand. Each manufacturer offers its own portal only for its equipment; the hospital with a multi-brand fleet has no unified view of availability and status.
- Invisible critical infrastructure. Medical chillers, operating-room HVAC, emergency power plants, vacuum pumps, and medical-gas compressors rarely have condition monitoring — and they are the root cause of many medical-equipment stoppages.
- Audits that consume days. Gathering the maintenance evidence of a device for an accreditation or audit means chasing paper logs and external supplier reports.
The Wertek solution
Wertek AI applies to the healthcare sector as a platform for identity, maintenance, and monitoring of the physical infrastructure — independent of the equipment brand:
- Digital asset identity with QR/NFC: a complete census of the biomedical and infrastructure fleet. Registration is free and unlimited; each device gets a scannable tag, and its history (services, evidence, documents) travels with the asset, even if the service provider changes.
- CMMS and field service: preventive maintenance with automatic scheduling, work orders with photographic evidence, and logging of external supplier visits with verified check-in — the audit evidence generates itself, as a byproduct of operating.
- Condition monitoring of the support infrastructure: vibration and temperature on chillers, pumps, and compressors; on-demand thermography and ultrasound captured by the biomedical engineering or facilities staff themselves.
- Energy: consumption and power quality of the facility, including the systems that feed critical areas.
- Specialized medical-vertical dashboard (fleet view with availability per device)

What Wertek does NOT do in this sector: Wertek does not calibrate, repair, or certify medical equipment, and does not replace the manufacturer or the authorized biomedical provider — specialized service remains theirs; Wertek organizes their evidence and history. Nor is Wertek a sanitary regulatory compliance tool: it manages equipment maintenance and its documentation, it does not certify medical devices before any health authority. Monitoring covers the electromechanical and infrastructure components, not the clinical function of the equipment.
Typical assets and sensors
- Imaging infrastructure: the chiller and cooling system of the MRI and CT — vibration on compressors and pumps, temperature, electrical consumption. These are the support systems whose failure stops the medical equipment.
- Radiotherapy: cooling pumps and auxiliary systems of the linear accelerator.
- Medical chillers and operating-room HVAC: vibration on compressors and fans, operating temperatures, energy.
- Emergency power plants: monitoring of electrical parameters and evidence of periodic tests through the CMMS.
- Medical gases: vibration and temperature on medical-air compressors and vacuum pumps; on-demand ultrasound for leak detection.
- UPS and electrical distribution: power quality, consumption, and electrical anomalies.
- General biomedical equipment: QR/NFC identity + CMMS (census, preventive, service history) even without installed sensors.
Modalities: continuous vibration with wireless sensors, on-demand vibration/ultrasound/thermography from the phone, and multi-brand energy metering.
Compliance and standards
- Hospital accreditations and audits: the platform's central value in this vertical is evidence — a complete inventory, a preventive program with visible compliance, work orders with photos and a responsible party, and a per-asset history queryable by scanning its tag. What today takes days of gathering is answered in minutes.
- External-service traceability: biomedical supplier visits are logged with date, evidence, and findings, unifying into a single file what previously lived in each manufacturer's separate reports.
- Important: Wertek does not accredit compliance before health authorities or certify medical devices; sanitary regulatory obligations remain the hospital's and its authorized providers'. The platform provides the documentary support for maintenance.
- ISO 55001 (asset management): certification-support module

Reference case
Reference case in progress — Wertek AI has not yet published a healthcare-sector case. The modules described (asset identity, CMMS with evidence, chiller/pump/compressor monitoring, energy) are available today on the platform; there is a published buildings case in success stories.
