Diagnostic radiology workflow is inefficient in India. For the wealthy few, the experience compares with that in the developed world. However, for most Indians, it takes on average, about four days after their first visit to get their radiology report. The problem persists because most Indians must go through independent diagnostic centres and small hospitals that do not have access to cutting edge technology and equipment that digitizes radiology workflows. This forces these centres to resort to inefficient and manual processes that compromise patient outcomes. It also leads to lost revenues and higher costs for the providers.

Softmed Technologies - healthtech start-up with a mission to solve this problem by increasing access to radiology imaging and improve patient care through integrated digital workflows and faster turnaround times. We provide an innovative software platform leveraging cutting-edge technologies to provide an end-to-end solution for remote radiology image viewing, reporting, and archiving. This secure, cloud-based software platform also enables certified and experienced radiologists to extend their reach to otherwise unreachable patients and provide quick, cost-effective radio-diagnosis. Equipped with advanced tools for managing end-to-end teleradiology operations (including FDA & CE certified DICOM® image viewers), the solution connects medical imaging workflow at point of care on the demand side with radiologists on the supply side. It is OS-agnostic (works with Windows, Linux and Mac) and runs on any HTML5-capable device, including iOS and Android tablets and smartphones. It can be implemented on-premise, on-cloud or a flexible hybrid combination of on-premise PACS with on-cloud teleradiology. It can be customised to accommodate healthcare data interoperability by seamlessly integrating with multiple 3rd party HIS/EMR/LIS systems. It supports VNA (Vendor Neutral Archive) allowing it to seamlessly integrate with any DICOM®- enabled imaging equipment. Our proprietary algorithm allows it to connect to non-DICOM® imaging equipment as well.
