About · 002 / Manifesto
Medical supply, decoded.
We're building the intelligence layer for medical devices in America — a verified supplier mesh that routes the right device to the right buyer at the right price, across three distinct channels.
America runs on 6,500 hospitals, 230,000 clinics, and a medical-device supply chain so fragmented that the same SKU can vary 4× in price between two suppliers ten miles apart.
That fragmentation is not a quirk — it is a tax. A tax on patients waiting for a CPAP, on clinicians ordering nebulizers from a PDF catalog, on rural hospitals paying coastal margins for boxes that shipped from down the road.
Aidlyst was built to dissolve it. We are not a marketplace. We are a curation and routing layer — three channels stitched into one verified supplier mesh — that brings transparency to a market that has resisted it for forty years.
We are headquartered in the Boston area and operate with FDA-aware sourcing standards. Every device. Every supplier. Every shipment.

Operating principles
What we do, and what we refuse to.
Verification before listing
Every supplier is FDA-registered and audit-traced before a single SKU appears on Aidlyst. No drop-shipper roulette.
Curation over catalog size
We say no to nine in ten devices we see. The remaining one is the one your patient or hospital actually needs.
Local by default
B2B routing matches hospitals to manufacturers inside their region. Less freight, faster lead time, better margin.
Clinician-fit, not algorithm-fit
Our prescribed channel routes patients via doctor-validated criteria — not affinity guesses.
