Questions surgical technologists ask
Has this actually shipped for a real surgical technologists team?
Yes. AI adoption in this role is still early - which is exactly where the edge is cheapest to win We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Handle bookings, triage and reminders by voice, Summarise notes in plain language, Answer staff questions over your protocols, Cut phone and paperwork time are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
What's the realistic timeline for AI with a surgical technologists team?
Most Surgical Technologists have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational - your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
Is our data kept in New Zealand?
Kiwi Dynamics hosts its own infrastructure in New Zealand, under New Zealand governance. If personal information ever has to go offshore, privacy principle 12 requires comparable protection.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
