- 2:49Speaker 1: nominee Hillary Clinton will be addressing her party tonight, taking
- 2:53Speaker 1: stage in Philadelphia to give her acceptance speech. The first
- 2:56Speaker 1: few days of the Democratic National Convention were tumultuous, with
- 2:59Speaker 1: Bernie sam the supporters booing loudly at times. Speaking to
- 3:02Speaker 1: ABC News this morning, Clinton's running mate, vice presidential nominee
- 3:06Speaker 1: Tim Kaine, says, the rivaling factions have come together over
- 3:09Speaker 1: the course of the convention. You see the way the
- 3:12Speaker 1: arc of this convention has gone to It started off
- 3:13Speaker 1: with some turmoil and some churn, but there's been a
- 3:16Speaker 1: direct arc to unification and an awareness that the stakes
- 3:19Speaker 1: are high and we gotta pull together to win. Republican
- 3:21Speaker 1: presidential candidate Donald Trump tells Fox News he was not
- 3:25Speaker 1: being serious when he called for Russia to find Hillary
- 3:27Speaker 1: Clinton's deleted emails and comments he made yesterday. And I'm
- 3:30Speaker 1: being sarcastic with some of course, I'm being sarcastic, but
- 3:34Speaker 1: you have thirty three thousand emails deleted, and the real
- 3:37Speaker 1: problem is what was said on those emails from the
- 3:40Speaker 1: Democratic National Committee. Pope Francis tripped and fell during an
- 3:44Speaker 1: open air mass in Poland today. He braced his fall
- 3:47Speaker 1: with his hand and several priests neared by rush to

- 4:45Speaker 1: I'm Charlie Pellot. That's a Bloomberg business splash. Now on
- 4:50Speaker 1: Bloomberg Radio, we take stock of small business. Small businesses
- 4:54Speaker 1: want more streamlining and less red tag. Small businesses accept
- 4:59Speaker 1: the no. Maybe there's so many people that have ideas
- 5:03Speaker 1: and it has to be more than that. It has
- 5:04Speaker 1: to be making it real. Bloomberg taking stock small business
- 5:08Speaker 1: in focus on Bloomberg Radio. Medical airs the third leading
- 5:13Speaker 1: cause of death in the United States, according to a
- 5:15Speaker 1: research study. At Johns Hopkins enter Bline Medical, their mission
- 5:20Speaker 1: provide healthcare educators and clinicians with innovative video driven solutions
- 5:26Speaker 1: to stop this. A company providing technology innovative technology to
- 5:30Speaker 1: over four hundred fifty medical schools, nursing schools, hospitals of
- 5:33Speaker 1: all kinds. During US now here in our New York studios.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Hartley Thompson, he's the president of Beeline Medical. He's usually
- 5:40Speaker 1: in watching d C. Butts out me to people like
- 5:42Speaker 1: us today, welcome, thank you, Caffeine's a pleasure to be here.
- 5:45Speaker 1: So what do you do? I'm gonna sit down and
- 5:49Speaker 1: watch a video what I'm a I'm a nurse, um,
- 5:52Speaker 1: I'm a young doctor. How much difference does that make?
- 5:55Speaker 1: So a good way to think about it is to
- 5:57Speaker 1: look at it as an intelligent instant replace them. So
- 6:00Speaker 1: if you look at the way that professional sports are
- 6:02Speaker 1: records of the NFL, they record everything that happens if
- 6:05Speaker 1: they play it back to improve performance. So we provide
- 6:08Speaker 1: is a similar type platform for both healthcare students, so
- 6:13Speaker 1: medical school students, nursing school students, pharmacy students, et cetera,
- 6:17Speaker 1: and as well as clinicians. So when they actually start
- 6:20Speaker 1: treating real patients, were also recording everything that's happening at
- 6:24Speaker 1: the point of care that's delivered in operating room's trauma base.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Uh I see use, et cetera. And that's used for
- 6:30Speaker 1: educational purposes. After the fact, so it's used to see
- 6:34Speaker 1: if the mistake was made or to review and say,
- 6:37Speaker 1: this is what she did really well, this is what
- 6:38Speaker 1: you didn't do so well, And again it's all about
- 6:42Speaker 1: improving outcomes at the end of the day. Tell us
- 6:45Speaker 1: about robotic surgery because I note that recently you've joined
- 6:49Speaker 1: to support fundamentals of robotic surgery. You're providing a cloud
- 6:54Speaker 1: based video capture program. That's correct. So robotic surgery is
- 6:59Speaker 1: something that's as it around for a little while, but
- 7:01Speaker 1: it's really starting to take to take off a lot
- 7:03Speaker 1: more in hospitals where the surgeons are actually using an
- 7:07Speaker 1: instrument that has a much smaller arms that they can
- 7:10Speaker 1: that they control, and they also have a pedal control
- 7:12Speaker 1: so they able to make a much more precise incisions,
- 7:16Speaker 1: so the recovery time is a lot better and also
- 7:18Speaker 1: the outcomes are a lot better. So what we're providing
- 7:21Speaker 1: is a platform that actually records the video and the
- 7:24Speaker 1: audio of the either the surgery being used in training
- 7:27Speaker 1: or actually on real live patients, and they go back
- 7:30Speaker 1: and review and look to see what we could have
- 7:32Speaker 1: done better using the robotic h surgery device. So you're
- 7:36Speaker 1: in over four and fifty medical institutions. Uh, the company
- 7:42Speaker 1: you aren't joined the company in two thousands seven, it's
- 7:44Speaker 1: about eleven years old. You are you guys who studied
- 7:47Speaker 1: information managements? Really a dream fit for you? What about
- 7:51Speaker 1: the business model? What kind of money you can can
- 7:53Speaker 1: you make on this? You've got all kinds of pressures
- 7:56Speaker 1: now on providers and cutting costs. Where does that lead be?
- 7:58Speaker 1: Line medical? So that actually leaves us in a very
- 8:00Speaker 1: good position as far as business goes. So our business
- 8:04Speaker 1: model is we sell a perpetual license model currently, so
- 8:08Speaker 1: the medical schools and nursing schools are hospitals. They pay
- 8:11Speaker 1: for the product, so it's combined hardware and software platform,
- 8:14Speaker 1: So they pay a one time fee upfront for the product,
- 8:17Speaker 1: We do the implementation, and then they pay for annual
- 8:20Speaker 1: support and maintenance on a recurring basis year over year.
- 8:23Speaker 1: So it's a really good position for us to be
- 8:26Speaker 1: in because, as you mentioned, hospitals are now shifting to
- 8:30Speaker 1: more of a pay for value model that's compared to
- 8:33Speaker 1: pay for service. So we feel that we're well positioned
- 8:36Speaker 1: to take advantage of that and provide a tool that
- 8:38Speaker 1: can actually assist hospitals in figuring out why your outcomes
- 8:42Speaker 1: are where they are, and how to improve your outcomes
- 8:45Speaker 1: and also improve ultimately patient safety and patient satisfaction. Do
- 8:49Speaker 1: you have the black box with you? I do not
- 8:53Speaker 1: have it with me? And help people what is what
- 8:54Speaker 1: is in the black box? So in the black box
- 8:57Speaker 1: is a device that actually cap years the video and audio,
- 9:02Speaker 1: so we call it an encolder, And we also have
- 9:04Speaker 1: two cameras, and we also have a device that captures
- 9:08Speaker 1: the patient monitor display. And that's useful for the replay
- 9:11Speaker 1: aspect because you're able to tie what's actually happening with
- 9:15Speaker 1: either the simulated patient or the real patient as far
- 9:18Speaker 1: as the oxygen level, of the heart rate, blood pressure,
- 9:20Speaker 1: et cetera, with exactly what's happening at that point of
- 9:23Speaker 1: time of the action that's being performed during that point
- 9:26Speaker 1: in time. So that's what comes in in the black box.
- 9:29Speaker 1: So how far are you going to take this? Heartly?
- 9:31Speaker 1: How big can this company get? Where do you want
- 9:33Speaker 1: to go? Do you want to expand in products and services?
- 9:35Speaker 1: If you want to work about global what kind of
- 9:37Speaker 1: profitability and impact you for see for Bline Medical. So
- 9:40Speaker 1: we're wake up every day, we're taking it to the moon.
- 9:43Speaker 1: So you know, again it's a huge market for us
- 9:45Speaker 1: to grow in, and we are profitable. We've been profitable
- 9:48Speaker 1: for the last five years. You know, we're in the
- 9:51Speaker 1: double digit millions in in revenue and we're looking for
- 9:55Speaker 1: fift growth actually on pace this year over five years ago,
- 9:59Speaker 1: over the last five years. So it's a really good
- 10:02Speaker 1: market to be in. It's exciting. You know. We look
- 10:04Speaker 1: at simulation is a really good market that we're the
- 10:06Speaker 1: number one trusted platform and provider in that market. And
- 10:09Speaker 1: we're looking at the clinical space now as a huge opportunity.
- 10:12Speaker 1: So we see it as anywhere from seven and fifty
- 10:15Speaker 1: millions to a billion dollar potential market size. Thanks very
- 10:19Speaker 1: much for coming in and sharing this information with as.
