During surgery, when a nurse needs an item, they call or message the ORMC (Operating Room Materials Core) on a VoLTE phone. Then: The one associate they reach may be busy, away, or covering several jobs. There are thousands of items, and surgical teams often use different names for the same one. If the associate doesn't recognize the name, they search the inventory app by hand, or need the item number. Every minute spent on the phone is a minute lost in the operating room. Why I built this I work as a material coordinator in a hospital, so I see this problem every day: an urgent call from the OR, a nickname that doesn't match the catalog, and a hand search through thousands of items while the surgical team waits. This app is what I want that moment to look like. The solution The nurse picks their OR, then types or speaks the item name, using whatever name they know: "bovie", "lap sponge", or a misheard "Bobby". A Muse Spark agent works out which item they mean and shows a packaging-style photo, the item number, and where it's in stock, ranked from nearest: the same OR, the OR's core, the ORMC, then other ORs. The nurse adds items to a cart, sets quantities, reviews, and chooses: Deliver from ORMC: every ORMC associate's screen beeps at once. The first to tap Accept gets it; others see it's taken. I'll pick it myself: no alert, just a pick list with locations. The request is still recorded. The nurse's screen updates live: Sent → Maria is on the way → Delivered ✓. Not something we stock? The agent looks the description up in the FDA's public device database and shows real products: maker, model number, whether it's still sold, and any recalls. One tap asks ORMC to source it. No phone call, no misheard names, and no single point of failure.
