Lifetrack has developed and deployed the first scalable, distributed medical imaging software designed for affordable adoption in emerging markets. Our LifeSys™ platform allows for rapid transmission, aggregation, and access of medical images for both simple X-Rays and complex CT scans through the cloud from multiple sites, even in remote areas, using off-the-shelf consumer hardware and consumer DSL or 4G - versus the traditional radiology software that requires expensive server hardware, workstations, and high-speed bandwidth available in the developed world.
What makes LifeSys™ even more transformational is its potential to faciliate an "Alibaba of Radiology" model, where a group of hospitals in India or the Philippines with a large internal group of radiologists who are using LifeSys™, can also receive and diagnose medical images coming from hospitals in Africa who are similarly on the LifeSys™ platform, at the flick of a switch. Instead of the current model where individual Indian or Filipino radiologists physicially move to the Middle East or Africa, where there is a severe shortage of specialists, the LifeSys™ platform can simultaneously prevent brain drain of talented medical professionals lost to their home countries and still increase access to diagnostic imaging in underserved markets.
