Who are we?

Ansana is bringing a new sterilization technology to hospitals in the US and Europe. Our main focus is on reprocessing surgical instruments - a critical process where errors can directly compromise patient safety by causing surgical site infections.

Our mission is to improve patient safety while also driving cost efficiency and sustainability. We tackle this by digitalizing and optimizing the reprocessing flow, ensuring that the right instruments reach the right surgery, at the right time, and in the right condition.

Your role

Right now, Ansana is developing a standardized process mapping approach to help hospitals uncover bottlenecks in their reprocessing flow. At the core of this is our Impact Model: a comprehensive framework that combines data on capacity, inventory, staffing, finances, and sterilization processes to give a complete picture of hospital performance. By connecting these data points, we use the model to uncover inefficiencies and highlight opportunities for improvement.

As an intern, you will play a key role in bringing this model to life. Working closely with our team, you’ll gain hands-on experience in analyzing hospital data, exploring digital solutions, and supporting the development of a tool that can help hospitals plan for growth, solve roadblocks, and optimize resources.

You will be directly exposed to real healthcare technology challenges, while building your technical, analytical, and problem-solving skills in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
