Pheonix-based DICOM Grid has developed a digital image sharing platform allowing images to be delivered to patients and clinicians quickly and securely. Clinicians are able to stream images while they are still being transmitted from the cloud, and the platform detaches any protected health information from the image while it is still in transit, ensuring satisfactory privacy.
Canaan Partners invested $3.5 million in the platform, making it the largest investor. Mayo Clinic invested nearly $750,000. In total, DICOM Grid has raised $30.9 million in funding, according to the report.
Mayo Clinic and Rush University Medical Center in Chicago are two organizations utilizing this new platform.
DICOM Grid plans to further develop the platform to allow integration with radiology information systems and electronic health records, according to the report.
