During the event the Hi-Tech Park resident company KometaRad presented its software complex for processing, 3D reconstruction, transmission and storage of medical diagnostic images 3DMed. As noted by the company’s representatives the product was developed directly for Belarus in terms of the existing regional specificity (methodology, registers, etc.), is tolerant to the manufacturers of the pluggable equipment, has a wide functionality for visualization, exchange of the examination results between medical institutions, provides opportunities for scaling and deployment of the solution in the cloud system. In addition, it is fully compliant with the concept of e-health development.
CometaRad's solution aroused keen interest among the representatives of the healthcare industry. During the discussion, it was noted that the possibility of prompt access to high-quality diagnostic data is undoubtedly an essential factor in quick and competent diagnosis.
