AI expertisewith clinicalunderstanding.

Healthcare systems are complex. Building effective AI solutions requires more than technical knowledge — it requires understanding how hospitals actually operate.

Overview§ 01
Built where two disciplines meet —not from one looking at the other.

Discens Machina combines AI engineering with direct clinical insight. We build systems that hospitals can actually run, not theoretical demos with no path to deployment.

Composition

Two disciplines, one team.

Healthcare AI fails when it is built by one side talking past the other. We sit in the overlap — clinical workflows on one axis, on-prem AI engineering on the other — and we build for both at once.

What defines the team
01Strong technical background in AI and system development
02Direct clinical insight from medical professionals
03Focus on practical, deployable solutions
04Adapted to constrained hospital environments

"The hard part of healthcare AI is not the model. It is the rest of the work."

Approach

Identify, build, deploy, iterate.

We start with a real hospital problem, build a targeted system, deploy it inside the hospital, and iterate based on usage. The loop closes with usage, not with a release note.

Operating method
01Identify real hospital problems
02Build targeted solutions
03Deploy inside hospital infrastructure
04Iterate based on actual usage
Perspectives§ 03

Both views, in the room.

Decisions are made with the clinical and technical sides weighing in together — not sequentially, not by translation.

Medical perspective

Co-founded with medical expertise. Systems are designed alongside the people who would actually use them.

Clinically relevant
Aligned with real workflows
Focused on meaningful problems
Technical perspective

We build for the constraints hospitals actually have — local infrastructure, controlled deployments, predictable behaviour, no external dependencies.

On-prem AI systems
Reliable and controlled deployments
Solutions adapted to constrained environments

Four people, one direction.

Josip Vrdoljak
Co-founder

Josip Vrdoljak

Clinical

Josip leads the AI in Biomedicine Laboratory at the Faculty of Medicine in Split — a role that reflects his rare combination of medical training and AI engineering. That dual perspective gives him direct, firsthand insight into where healthcare processes break down, and what it actually takes to fix them with AI.

Domjan Barić
Co-founder

Domjan Barić

Technical

Ten years of building AI systems and leading engineering teams across multiple companies. His PhD research in biophysics focused on interpretable AI for time series analysis — work that directly informs how Discens Machina approaches clinical data. Author of several scientific papers in medical AI.

Bojan Islamović
Co-founder

Bojan Islamović

Operations

Years of building digital solutions that simplify day-to-day operations for companies of all sizes. He has worked with corporations and small businesses alike, and is most focused on how technology, AI, and better processes can reduce chaos and make people's daily work easier. He doesn't start from the technology — he starts from the real business problem: where time is lost, where the process stalls, and how to build a solution the company will actually use, not just install.

We build systems hospitals can actually use — not theoretical solutions.
