What LayerJot does

LayerJot is a private healthcare-technology company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Menlo Park, California. It builds a computer-vision and AI platform aimed at surgical logistics, with a specific focus on sterile processing departments (SPD) and operating rooms (OR) in hospitals and surgery centers. The company addresses two structurally linked problems: messy instrument and countsheet data that erodes operational reliability, and over-processing driven by surgical trays that carry 30%–70% unused instruments, which the company estimates costs facilities $500k–$3M annually in waste.

The LayerJot platform is organized around three integrated modules — Clean (professional data cleanup and countsheet audits), Manage (Countsheet.ai for AI-driven countsheet and tray management), and Optimize (OR Stats, which uses computer vision to document real-world instrument usage and recommend tray and case cart reductions). Supporting the paid stack is SID (Surgical Instrument Directory) 4.0, a freemium instrument identification app with a 4M+ instrument database, available on PC web, Apple, Android, and Zebra devices. The company also powers AID (Aesculap Instrument Directory) under a strategic partnership with surgical instrument vendor Aesculap, and delivers Custom-Fit Optimization jointly with OpFlow.

LayerJot monetizes through quote-based SaaS subscriptions (annual or multi-year contracts per site/department/location), professional services for data entry and cleanup, and leased hardware carts for OR data capture. GTM combines enterprise direct sales requiring a pre-onboarding call with a product-led growth funnel via the free SID app, now used at 1,000+ hospitals and surgery centers across 81 countries and 50 US states. The company is led by founders Etay Gafni (CEO) and Soren Harner (CTO), both with prior executive experience at SAP, MuleSoft, Meta, Atlassian, and similar organizations. No external funding rounds, headcount figures, or financial results are disclosed.

Core offering

LayerJot sells a unified AI-powered surgical logistics platform that helps hospitals and sterile processing departments clean surgical instrument data, manage countsheets and tray accuracy, and optimize surgical tray composition based on real-world operating-room usage. Its core commercial products are Countsheet.ai for AI-driven countsheet management and OR Stats for computer-vision-based usage analytics, supported by a free SID instrument-identification app and professional data-cleansing services.

Product overview

LayerJot is a unified surgical logistics platform designed to bridge sterile processing and the operating room. The platform consists of a core LayerJot Platform plus three integrated service modules: Clean (professional data cleanup and countsheet audit services), Manage (Countsheet.ai for AI-driven countsheet and tray management), and Optimize (OR Stats for computer vision AI-powered usage optimization). Supporting products include SID 4.0, a free surgical instrument identification app with 4M+ instruments database, and Custom-Fit Optimization services delivered in partnership with OpFlow. The platform also powers AID (Aesculap Instrument Directory) as a partner solution for instrument vendors. Together, these products create a continuous feedback loop from data cleaning through tray assembly to real-world usage optimization.
