AT&T launches cloud-based medical imaging service

AT&T has launched a new cloud-based medical imaging and information management service.

Baptist Health System of Alabama and Henry Ford Health System of Michigan have signed agreements to pilot the service, which will connect doctors to patients’ medical images.

The system allows healthcare providers to store, access, view and share patient medical images and information over a secure infrastructure. The cloud service is offered on a pay-as-you-go pricing system where healthcare providers pay based on the gigabytes of information transferred per month, according to the Dallas-based telecommunications company.
