Bialogics, Medicom partner on data de-identification

AURORA, Ont. – Bialogics is pleased to announce its new partnership with Medicom deepMed to leverage it’s DImax Business and Clinical Intelligence platform. This will automate the deepMed clinical context search process for the collecting and de-identifying of clinical information for research, machine learning, and AI applications.

From requisition to diagnosis to research, Bialogics creates a closed loop Diagnostic Imaging ecosystem by integrating multiple sources of data into a single vendor agnostic platform to better document, measure, and analyze business performance, reimbursements, and clinical outcomes.

“A much greater need exists today for the consolidation of all sources of data into a single vendor agnostic platform that manages the data across its lifecycle, including the need to leverage this data securely for research and the future maturation of AI,” said Jeff Vachon (pictured), president of Bialogics Analytics.

The final step in the Diagnostic Imaging data ecosystem is the protection of personal health information and preparing data appropriately for research, training, and the validation of AI algorithms.

Finding the appropriate data can be difficult and time-consuming; preserving privacy and security standards for all diagnostic data used for research purposes is equally difficult.

Medicom deepMed, integrated with the Bialogics Dimax platform, provides HIPAA compliant image anonymization, annotation tools and services to developers. In turn, this will work with radiologists in a wide array of clinical settings to prepare images for use in AI development, including:

• Data preparation
• DICOM Image de-identification
• Report Anonymization
• Extraction of image data sets for AI training or evaluation

As the utilization of AI in Diagnostic Imaging further evolves, the demand for complex data sets expands. Access to this data is integral to imaging research as it relies heavily on the ability to quickly and accurately identify exams that match specific clinical contexts, ultimately improving patient care.
