ProblemOutpatient interventional-radiology teams still discover too late that a biopsy or drainage was never truly ready: prior auth is pending, anticoagulants were not held, INR or platelets are stale, or sedation prep is incomplete. That failure burns expensive scanner time and delays care.
SolutionNeedleReady IR is a read-only worklist that ingests tomorrow's procedure schedule, pulls the chart and payer status, and flags cases that are false-ready before staff start calling. It focuses on the last-mile prep logic that RIS, PACS, and prior-auth tools do not actually own.
Market opportunityThe wedge sits inside a U.S. interventional-radiology market that Allied Market Research sized at $7.66B in 2021 and $13.22B by 2031. Buyers already spend on RIS/PACS, while prior-auth chaos still delays care for 95% of physicians in the AMA's 2025 survey.
