COMPANY DESCRIPTION
Net Medical Xpress Solutions is focused on Telemedicine, rapidly emerging as the fastest growing segment of the healthcare industry.
Medical information is exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications for the health and education of the patient or healthcare provider as part of providing real time consultative, diagnostic and patient treatment services.
This is particularly valuable for rural hospitals,their patients and the families of the patients who benefit from real time effective specialist care in high stress and emergency situations.
More than 5 million Americans had their medical images read remotely in 2012. Approximately 10% of all intensive care beds in the U.S. use telemedicine. More than 10 million Americans benefited from telemedicine technology in 2012. Now, growing pressure from rising costs, provider shortages and increasing demand are forcing policy makers to further ramp up uses for telemedicine.
Differentiators NET MEDICAL XPRESS HAS THREE OPERATING UNITS
Net Medical Xpress Solutions
The company’s software engineering unit provides Picture Archiving and Communications (PACS) hardware and software to hospitals and other medical facilities.
Its proprietary XR-EXpress system enables doctors to examine medical images (X-Rays, CT Scans, Ultrasounds, EKGs, Echocardiograms, Barium studies) and make diagnostic judgments in real time securely over the Internet.
Both the company’s proprietary Telemedicine Cart workstations and mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads, Android devices and Samsung tablets are supported. Image quality is vital since images are used by doctors to diagnose patients. XR-EXpress captures medical images as high resolution Dicom files, "tags" them with patient information, distributes the files to credentialed, licensed medical doctors, returns reports to the medical facility requesting them and stores them online for seven years.
With XR-EXpress, medical professionals can diagnose a case from their own computers and immediately return the results, significantly cutting the time it takes to provide critical information for primary physicians to promptly treat their patients. Previous cases for a particular patient may be accessed from the database at any time, eliminating the cost and hassle of storing old X-Ray film and paper files.
The company provides its cardio PACS service to heart hospitals. The solution is a unique XR-EXpress development that includes vascular and system wide integration with a hospital's existing cardio monitoring equipment.
XR-EXpress is a secure, FDA 510(k) cleared, HIPAA compliant system designed to protect the confidentiality of patient files and records. The system is available for resale and can be installed at a medical facility or purchased as a “Software-as-a-Service.”
