Claron Technology Partners with Livecare, Canadian Telehealth Provider

Claron’s NilRead zero-footprint diagnostic viewer provides offsite radiologists with immediate access to any digital imaging exams involved in the consultation for viewing and interpretation in real time. NilRead is HealthCanada-cleared for diagnostic use and supports display of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) imaging modalities and related medical information on a multimonitor diagnostic workstation.

Diagnostic reading can also be done on a laptop, tablet or smartphone. Running from the Livecare datacenter, the viewer enables remote physicians to access high-resolution, diagnostic quality display of both DICOM and non-DICOM formats. Data reaches Livecare servers from participating patient facilities through Claron’s NilFeed image communication technology, which is easy to install and manage at the multiple program sites.

Patients located hundreds of miles away from major urban centers will have access to diagnostic reading by leading radiologists, including a full range of subspecialists, through the Livecare and Nil systems. NilRead enables sophisticated image manipulation and viewing with a full range of toolsets. It supports the highest levels of security and leaves no information on the viewing hardware when the session is complete.

Mark Godley, FRCPC, MBChB, CEO of Livecare commented, “We selected Nil because the technology is robust, easy-to-use, reliable and affordable. NilRead is cleared by HealthCanada for diagnostic use and is very efficient in a primary reading setting. Both Claron and Livecare share a commitment to leveraging the benefits of advancing technologies to support remote care. Claron’s NilRead provides an excellent complement to our portfolio of enabling technologies.”

Reuven Soraya, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Claron technology commented, “Claron believes this Nil implementation showcases the benefits of our technology at its best and underscores its value in the remote diagnostic mix, enabling doctors and patients who are miles apart to interact as if they were in the same room.”

Claron is dedicated to the application of image processing, image sharing, and image distribution in medicine. It has extensive experience in developing systems that help clinicians identify anatomy and tissues of interest, visualize and analyze them, and securely distribute them on a variety of different platforms from desktop to smartphones.
