Products

ResolutionMD®

The medical industry has for many years struggled with how to reliably view patient records through mobile technology without compromising client record security and patient privacy. Diagnostic medical imaging software ResolutionMD, enables doctors to securely view patient images and reports from a wide variety of computers and mobile devices, collaborate with other practitioners and diagnose from any location. Whether you are a single facility or a large healthcare system with tens of thousands of users, ResolutionMD is the best choice for seamless image access across multiple departments. The mobile medical diagnosis software can be integrated into any EMR and easily plugs into multiple distributed storage systems, creating one federated system. ResolutionMD’s unique approach is different from other solutions as highly sensitive data is never moved to a device and no additional data storage locations are created.

PureWeb®

Calgary Scientific has developed an extensive technological solution that enables applications to be virtualized in the cloud, eliminating legacy and enterprise system integration. The solution provides extensive security, as no executable resides at the end point and no residual data is left on any device.

PureWeb is a platform that enables applications written in C++, .NET or Java for Windows or Linux to be extended as cloud-ready services accessible from web and mobile devices. PureWeb provides a secure, low latency connection between a client (desktop, web or mobile) and a web service, hiding the complexities of web development and allowing developers to focus on the capabilities of their enterprise class applications. Once on the web, new capabilities provided by PureWeb (including collaboration) are automatically available to the application. PureWeb opens up a new world of business possibilities for industries that were previously constrained by big data, intense graphics, regulatory, compliance or security concerns.
