Calgary Scientific Inc. Launches ResolutionMD 5.0 with Embedded Voice and Video Collaboration

CALGARY, ALBERTA, Feb. 18, 2015 — Calgary Scientific Inc., a company known for creating transformative technology for the medical industry and beyond, announced today the release of ResolutionMD® 5.0, which offers better access to health information, supports increased teamwork and enhances communication among practitioners and patients.

The new software version enables practitioners to instantly access expertise via live consultations using their web or mobile devices. Reports can now be created using voice dictation to complete patient records immediately and the need to physically transfer images on CD is drastically reduced with new image exchange capability.

There are many ways that healthcare enterprises can benefit from mobile access to expertise and images such as reimbursable telehealth programs. 

“The future of telemedicine will benefit greatly from technologies that simplify integration and help reduce costs such as ResolutionMD,” said Kyle Hall, Telehealth Coordinator at Nebraska Medicine. “Programs that include the use of mobile devices to communicate clinically relevant information among providers and their patients will ultimately improve patient care.”

The enhanced ResolutionMD 5.0 capability now includes:

  • Voice and video collaboration, connecting providers to other providers and their patients
  • Image sharing between facilities and providers, reducing the need to physically transfer images
  • Voice dictation for simplified report creation from mobile and web devices
  • Integration to EMR systems by Epic, Cerner and Allscripts, providing a complete view of patient records
  • XDS integration for greater accessibility and record sharing across or between healthcare enterprises
  • Precision measurements on mobile devices leveraging a unique and powerful lens tool for measurements on the go
  • Extended non-DICOM support for increased access to any file type

"The benefits realized by mobile access to information and expertise are ideally suited to the needs of healthcare. Applications such as telestroke and telehealth that integrate mobile image viewing capabilities have been proven to save valuable minutes in accessing images, thereby cutting the time it takes to begin diagnosis,” said Pierre Lemire, President and CTO of Calgary Scientific.  “The release of ResolutionMD 5.0, in combination with our global accreditations, offers leading technology to make virtual healthcare an industry standard."
