  XMED iQ has launched the first marketplace for medical consumables and devices in Europe, not financed by the medical industry. We aggregate large volumes of medical device orders from hospitals through our fully-integrated sourcing platform, then put these never-before-seen volumes out to tender across Europe. Our new AI-based and blockchain enhanced aggregator platform enables European hospitals to benefit from bulk-purchasing and cross-border procurement for medical devices, ranging from gloves and masks to medical implants. There is massive price variation (up to 10x) for the same products within different European countries. As an aggregator, XMED iQ ensures hospitals the lowest available prices from the European market, generating substantial savings. Show less
