About iMedical

Our mission

• To enhance Healthcare IT knowledge in the region

• To engage in standards implementation and adoption and provide targeted solutions

• To provide consulting in Healthcare IT implementations

A few things about us

• We are vendor neutral

• We use multiple technologies

• We believe our strength is in building strong “core” domain expertise

Proprietary information

About the iMedical Lab

Developing healthcare M&S solutions that fit into existing infrastructures and conform to

industry standards

Staging, simulating and demonstrating common industry problems in medical imaging

informatics

Investigating solutions, and providing targeted consultancy and hands-on training

Interest areas for implementation

Research and collaboration platform

IHE Integration Profiles, DICOM conformance evaluation and testing

Radiology workflows, extending to endoscopy, pathology

We have set up a research laboratory to simulate, emulate and investigate connectivity, data flow and system compatibility issues which commonly affect

access to data for research, collaboration and other purposes

Proprietary information

Healthcare research – current scenario

Health care is inherently fractal. The more closely you look, the more complexity you

find

Most researchers are looking for specific data in the format that serves their purpose

Scarce time is invested in searching for the right dataset – some systems process

thousands of messages per day

Assistance from Hospital IT isn’t sustainable – besides they might not understand the

domain or interoperability details

Last but not the least - Issues of patient data confidentiality

Data Flow Overview

Repository

Adaptor Data Source

• Data is received in proprietary formats (e.g. HL7, DICOM) and filtered

• Anonymization according to security policies

• Forwarded to repository

• Relevant dataset is extracted (images, demographic data)

• Data is transformed into required format

• Delivery securely to research facility

• Data available on demand and in user-required format

• Ability to cross check results

Proprietary information

CCP – intended features

Mine data from within operational healthcare IT infrastructure, requiring little or no

intervention

Access, absorb, organize and store healthcare data from formats including

DICOM, HL7, XML and raw formats

Anonymize the data according to configurable privacy policies

Implement IHE Teaching File and Clinical Trial Export Profile

Make data available for use by intelligently streaming it to where it is needed
