Imaging Technology

Technology is getting smarter. It is helping professionals all over the world do their job faster and better – and doctors are no exception. From new equipment to cloud-based medical records to telemedicine, technology is changing the way physicians provide care.

Israeli based start up Zebra Medical Vision is seeking to revolutionize the way radiologists work. Zebra is developing imaging analytics software to read and diagnose medical imaging data. Pulling from hundreds of thousands of cases, the software platform uses big data to construct predictive algorithms which may be used to inform clinical decision making. Current algorithms exist in the fields of bone health, cardiovascular analysis, and liver and lung indications. These algorithms have been applied in the clinical field to provide health and risk management insights to patients and providers.

Zebra, founded in 2014, recently announced an additional financing round of $12 million led by Salt Lake City based InterMountain Healthcare. InterMountain is a not-for-profit health system thought to be one of the top performing integrated care providers in the United States.

E4H is excited about the Zebra’s imaging analytics technology and its potential for clinical adaptation through collaboration with InterMountain Healthcare’s service providers. Technology is changing the way healthcare is provided and, consequently, the way healthcare spaces must be designed. Our appreciation for cutting edge imaging research and technology was fostered during the design of a state-of-the-art MRI suite at Beverly Hospital in Danvers, Massachusetts.
