Calgary Scientific Teams Up With Sprint to Bring ResolutionMD to the EVO 4G

Calgary Scientific and Sprint have announced a partnership to bring the ResolutionMD Mobile medical imaging platform to Sprint’s HTC EVO 4G. The platform, which currently supports the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad, enables doctors to review MRI and CT scan results remotely using their internet-connected devices, which gives even the most remote hospitals the ability to consult with specialists before treating patients.
From the press release:

Providing physicians with remote access to medical records has traditionally been fraught with significant obstacles. One of the largest concerns is that data stored on laptops or hand-held devices could be easily copied, putting security and patient confidentiality at risk. PureWeb, the underlying technology, uses advanced architecture that doesn’t require image data or confidential patient information to be transferred to the hand-held device. Patient or DICOM data is never removed from the on-site premises; it remains “in the cloud.” If an HTC EVO 4G or hand-held device is lost or stolen, the patient records and data remain safe.
