Hermes Medical Solutions, the leading company when it comes to imaging software in Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, signed an agreement to license ClinFlows’ worldwide-used decidemedical platform. Through the collaboration, a seamless data flow can be utilised, allowing sites to safely transfer their image data (in DICOM format) via the web-based decidemedical platform to the image analysis and processing servers of Hermes Medical Solutions. International research projects and clinical studies will now profit from a safer transfer and efficient workflow solution in combination with the best tools available in Nuclear Medicine when it comes to providing vendor-neutral, multimodality software for the most innovative diagnostic and discovery of personalised treatment options for patients.
”We are excited to offer our clients the professional data transfer tools from ClinFlows, with the seamless integration and embedded DICOM data flow to our server environment at Hermes Medical Solutions”, says Tom Francke, CEO of Hermes Medical Solutions. The Stockholm-based company has been recognised for clinical excellence and innovation for over 40 years, providing independent, vendor-neutral software solutions in Molecular Imaging and Nuclear Medicine. Its state-of-the-art Affinity Viewer offers never-before-seen clarity for multimodality imaging and high-throughput clinical scenarios, as well as an easy-to-use interface. “However, we always seek to make the user experience even better. Thus, we were looking for a solution to enable users to easily exchange DICOM images via our platform – and to do so safely. And that’s when we found: ClinFlows, a Germany-based leading provider of e-solutions to share medical images, that manages to meet our high requirements and standards“, Tom Francke adds.
Respecting data privacy and regulatory compliance
ClinFlows contributes ten years of experience in global project management when it comes to the regulatory-compliant exchange of patient data, especially medical images. Its platform decidemedical is used in 87 countries worldwide in various medical disciplines and utilised by major medical device companies around the globe. “We are very much looking forward to expanding our activities into the Nuclear Medicine market with Hermes Medical Solutions. DICOM images are standardised, so that we can leverage our experience of handling medical image data sets fully web-based in a secure and regulatory-compliant manner,“ says Uwe Gladbach, CEO and founder of ClinFlows. “We believe that as a European company with European hosting locations, we offer a great benefit, because the European Court of Justice recently invalidated the Privacy Shield, so everybody is uncertain about how the authorities will react if the transfer of personal data from the EU to the US is carried out.“, he explains.
