Udemy and Mila Partner to Empower the Global Workforce with Responsible AI Skills

Key Terms

perfusion technology medical

Devices and methods that keep blood and nutrients flowing through organs or tissues outside the body or during complex procedures, like pumps, filters and preservation systems used in surgery, organ transport and life-support. Investors care because these technologies enable new treatments, improve surgical outcomes and expand markets for medical devices and hospital services; adoption, regulatory approval and reimbursement drive revenue and valuation like a bridge connecting innovation to patient use.

Organ Care System medical

An organ care system is a medical device that keeps a donated organ alive and functioning outside the body during transport and before transplant, like a portable ICU or high-tech cooler for organs. It matters to investors because it can increase the number and quality of usable transplants, create recurring sales of equipment and supplies, and affect hospital spending and reimbursement — all of which can influence a company’s growth and profitability.

clinical perfusionists medical

Clinical perfusionists are licensed healthcare specialists who operate and manage machines that temporarily take over a patient’s heart and lung functions during complex surgeries, like coronary bypasses, ensuring blood circulation and oxygen delivery. For investors, they matter because their availability, training and certification affect hospitals’ ability to perform high-risk procedures, influence demand for related devices and services, and can impact surgical outcomes, costs and revenue streams in healthcare providers.
