Frequently Asked Questions
Can MedStrato handle complex, nested tables in Excel?
Yes. Our AI is specifically trained to parse nested layouts, merged cells, and complex hierarchies commonly found in medical device tenders.
Does it replace my team entirely?
No, MedStrato is a co-pilot. It does the heavy lifting of matching thousands of parameters instantly, but human experts make the final review and adjustments.
How is this different from generic AI like ChatGPT?
MedStrato is purpose-built for medical device specs. It provides 100% source traceability and never hallucinates numbers. Every matched parameter points directly to your verified documentation.
How long does it take to onboard?
Most teams are live within one business day. Upload your product catalogs and past tender documents — MedStrato indexes everything automatically. No IT integration required for the initial setup.
Is MedStrato compliant with healthcare data regulations?
Yes. MedStrato is SOC 2 Type II certified, HIPAA compliant, and GDPR ready. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and your documents never leave your designated region.
What file formats does MedStrato support for tender documents?
MedStrato processes Excel (.xlsx, .xls), Word (.docx), and PDF files — including scanned documents with OCR. It handles merged cells, nested tables, multi-sheet workbooks, and embedded images commonly found in government and hospital procurement tenders.
How does MedStrato compare to Loopio or RFPIO for medical device tenders?
Loopio and RFPIO are general-purpose RFP tools built around content libraries. MedStrato is purpose-built for medical device specifications — it understands technical parameters like voltage ranges, DICOM standards, and FDA clearance requirements. While Loopio searches past answers, MedStrato matches your actual product specs to tender requirements with full traceability.
Can I use MedStrato for tenders in multiple countries?
Absolutely. MedStrato supports multilingual tender documents and understands regional compliance frameworks including CE MDR (Europe), FDA 510(k) (US), TGA (Australia), and NMPA (China). Teams across APAC, EMEA, and the Americas use MedStrato for cross-border bidding.
