PACS/RIS developer Paxeramed has launched a new image management platform called CareRad to support DICOM imaging workflow and securely deliver medical images and reports to patients.
CareRad is designed to reduce the costs of burning CDs/DVDs by delivering studies and reports directly to patients' mobile devices. The platform's back end integrates with any PACS software, according to the company.
Patients can access, manage, and share studies with their caregivers and family members directly from their smartphones. Facilities using CareRad can send notifications to patients' mobile devices; patients who are not registered will receive a link to download the CareRad app for full access to their medical exams.
