Calgary Scientific, Sprint partner for mobile imaging
Calgary Scientific, an advanced visualization company, and Sprint, will offer ResolutionMD Mobile, powered by Calgary Scientific’s PureWeb technology, to provide physicians with advanced visualization of medical images directly on their HTC EVO 4G mobile phones.
ResolutionMD Mobile is HIPAA-compliant, and Calgary Scientific is seeking FDA approval for diagnostics in the handheld device category, according to Sprint, of Overland Park, Kan.
Sprint converged its wireline IP network and 3G and 4G wireless networks to create a single platform for the imaging tool. In addition to providing access to patient images, ResolutionMD Mobile will also provide reports and video for clinical consultations so physicians can provide patients with bedside care from remote locations, the communications company stated.
PureWeb, the underlying technology, uses an architecture that doesn't require image data or confidential patient information to be transferred to the handheld device, the companies said. Patient or DICOM data is not removed from the onsite premises, preserving the patient records and data if an HTC EVO 4G or handheld device is lost or stolen.
The companies are in the process of certifying ResolutionMD Mobile on the Samsung Epic 4G, Sprint's second 4G-capable handset, Sprint added.
