Your experience can keep a hospital running
Every working device starts with a person who decided to help. Here's how you can plug into the network — with your time, your resources, your connections, or your knowledge.
North American biomedical professionals
You've spent a career keeping equipment alive. That experience is exactly what partner hospitals need — and most of it can be shared without leaving home.
- Answer remote repair and troubleshooting requests in your equipment specialty.
- Mentor an in-country technician through a structured education path.
- Join short-term on-site assessment and repair trips.
- Contribute service manuals, documentation, and institutional knowledge.
Hospitals & healthcare organizations in LMICs
If your facility struggles with downed equipment, unpredictable donations, or a thin technical bench, the network was built for you.
- Request a hospital readiness assessment to map your equipment and skills.
- Enroll your technicians in education and mentoring programs.
- Get procurement guidance before accepting donations or making purchases.
- Access the repair-support network when critical devices go down.
“You don't need a sabbatical to change a hospital's story. Two hours a month in your specialty is enough to start.”
The promise behind the network
What are you willing to share?
The network runs on four kinds of generosity. Every one of them changes what a partner hospital can do.
Your Time & Expertise
Hours, not heroics. Even two hours a month answering questions in your specialty moves the needle for a hospital with no one else to ask.
- Remote troubleshooting in your device specialty
- Mentoring an in-country technician
- Teaching a virtual training session
- Joining an on-site assessment trip
Your Equipment & Resources
Surplus equipment, parts, test tools, repair kits, or funding — matched to real hospital needs and standardization plans, never dumped.
- Decommissioned-but-working medical devices
- Spare parts and consumables
- Test equipment and tool kits
- Financial support for shipping and training
Your Connections & Networks
Sometimes the most valuable thing you can share is an introduction — to a manufacturer, a parts supplier, a training program, or a colleague who can help.
- Introductions to OEMs and parts suppliers
- Connections to biomedical training programs
- Links to hospitals and health networks that should join
- Professional associations and HTM communities
Your Knowledge & Digital Assets
Service manuals, troubleshooting guides, training materials, translated documentation — knowledge that multiplies every time it's shared.
- Service and repair documentation
- Training curricula and presentations
- Troubleshooting playbooks and checklists
- Translations of technical materials
Joining will be as easy as a conversation
We're building a member platform where signing up is a simple guided chat: tell us what you're willing to share — time, resources, connections, or knowledge — and the network takes it from there, matching your offer to a real hospital need. Secure sign-in, your data under your control, and no forms that feel like paperwork.
AI in Creating Global Biomedical Solutions
Barbara Campbell and Jonathan Gregory present how AI-assisted tooling — equipment diagnostics, cross-language collaboration, and supply-chain visibility — is changing what small biomedical teams can accomplish in under-resourced hospitals.
Powered by modern tools
Through our technology partners EzBizPortal and EzMedSource, network hospitals get access to equipment inventory software, sourcing tools, and AI-assisted support — the same class of tooling North American hospitals rely on, tuned for low-resource settings.
