Medline (MDLN) has launched Mpower, a cloud-based, AI-powered supply chain platform designed to help health care providers anticipate and respond to potential disruptions before they impact patient care, the company said Monday.

The digital control tower "predicts future risks, offers real-time solutions with proactive optimizations and automates workflows," the company said, adding that it aims to reduce daily operational burden for supply chain and clinical teams.

Initial data from 10 US health systems where Mpower was deployed showed more than a 50% improvement in order substitution workflows and decision making, Medline said.

The platform, developed with Microsoft, is being rolled out in phases through 2026, with additional features planned as it evolves.

MDLN shares were down 1.3% in Monday afternoon trading.
