Carestream Health has signed an agreement with China's Alibaba Health to create a cloud-based network for medical image management in China.
Carestream's medical image management cloud platform will provide access to telehealth services for CT, MR, x-ray, ultrasound, echocardiography, dermatology, and other medical imaging studies; it will be incorporated into Alibaba Health's online portal, Alijk.com.
The new medical imaging cloud platform will support China's growing healthcare infrastructure and is modeled after Alibaba Health's current online pharmacy services, according to Carestream.
