The United Network for Organ Sharing reports that more than 41,000 organ transplants were performed in the United States in 2021. Transporting organs destined for transplants is a tricky business. A U.S. Senate investigation found the organization faced problems with organs being lost or damaged in transit.

The Cambridge-based company, Paragonix aims to make transporting transplant organs more efficient. Boston Globe technology writer Hiawatha Bray shares how the company is doing that on this week's Tech Talk conversation.
