Equiply Featured in El Nuevo Día on Smarter Equipment Replacement for Hospitals
El Nuevo Día features Equiply and its mission to help hospitals in Puerto Rico make smarter, data-driven equipment replacement decisions.
Equiply was recently featured in El Nuevo Día, highlighting the role that structured equipment planning plays in improving hospital efficiency, sustainability, and patient care across Puerto Rico.
The article explores a challenge faced by many hospitals on the island and beyond. Equipment replacement decisions are often delayed or made reactively, not because teams lack expertise, but because they lack clear, reliable information to guide prioritization. Without a structured approach, hospitals risk overspending, underutilizing assets, or continuing to operate with outdated infrastructure.
The feature shares how Equiply was built to address this problem by helping hospitals evaluate equipment replacement decisions using real data. The platform supports analysis across the full lifecycle of medical equipment, considering both technical condition and financial context. By looking at factors such as equipment age, usage, and departmental cash flow, hospitals can better understand not only what needs to be replaced, but when and why.
As highlighted in the article, Equiply’s approach differs from traditional solutions that focus primarily on maintenance or expiration dates. Instead, the platform helps organizations assess whether an equipment investment is financially viable and aligned with patient demand. This perspective enables hospitals to move away from last-minute purchases and toward more deliberate, defensible capital planning.
For us, this recognition is especially meaningful. Equiply was founded in Puerto Rico, informed by firsthand experience working with hospitals across the island. The challenges described in El Nuevo Día reflect realities we have seen up close, including how delayed or misaligned equipment decisions can impact both financial stability and patient care.
We are grateful to El Nuevo Día for highlighting this work and for helping bring visibility to the importance of smarter equipment planning. Supporting hospitals in Puerto Rico remains a core part of our mission, and we are proud to contribute to strengthening healthcare infrastructure at home while continuing to grow our impact beyond the island.
