WATERLOO, Ont. – Karos Health, a leader in standards-based clinical imaging exchange, storage and cross-enterprise workflow solutions, announced that it has acquired Medical Insight A/S. Medical Insight, headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, is a leading provider of universal diagnostic imaging solutions.

The company’s EasyViz products use a revolutionary adaptive streaming technology for instant cross-enterprise access to large examinations and reports over low bandwidth connections. Adding complete mobility to clinical workflow and displaying of diagnostic quality images directly from any PACS or Vendor Neutral Archive –all without pre-fetching – makes it the perfect tool for primary reading, enterprise viewing, telemedicine and real-time collaborative group sessions.

According to Karos, EasyViz seamlessly integrates with 3rd-party applications such as RIS, EMR or patient portals. It is used today in many leading institutions across North America and Europe where it delivers unparalleled access to critical diagnostic imaging information at anytime, from anywhere.

Karos’ Rialto platform, combined with EasyViz, delivers a seamless solution for imaging departments and healthcare enterprises, providing our customers with a platform for clinical collaboration and rapid access to imaging information and any other clinical documents at anytime, from anywhere. The scalability, performance and comprehensive feature set delivers our vision for the future today.
