has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan’s new report "Advances
in Teleimaging Systems (Technical Insights)" to their offering.

“Moreover, the increasing
expectations from clinicians and experts focusing on the quality of
images, and speedy, secure and efficient access have forced developers
to upgrade their existing product versions or innovate and develop newer
technologies, and this is considered a major driver.”

Advances in the Imaging and Communications Space Enable the Rollout of
Optimized Teleimaging Solutions

Although the synchronous teleimaging systems segment is a part of the
medical and healthcare sector, developments in the picture archiving and
communications system (PACS) industry impact it the most. Technology
pertaining to telemedicine, which is basically a remote data
communication system, is a part of the information communication
technology (ICT) industry. The data that these communication systems
dynamically acquire, process, and communicate in either half duplex or
full duplex manner is medical or rather clinical data acquired through
the biosensing modes. Hence, teleimaging systems are a fusion of the
ICT, imaging, and healthcare industries. "Competitive pricing structure
of PACS is considered a key driver for the teleimaging sector," notes
the analyst of this research service. "Moreover, the increasing
expectations from clinicians and experts focusing on the quality of
images, and speedy, secure and efficient access have forced developers
to upgrade their existing product versions or innovate and develop newer
technologies, and this is considered a major driver."

As treatment costs escalate steadily, there is the need for a
cost-effective solution to satisfy the immediate needs of patients.
Teleimaging systems are an effective way to interact with a patient,
breaking the barriers of distance and time. Patients now can discuss
their problems from home and take the doctor’s advice regarding
adherence to further treatment protocols. It is clearly evident nowadays
that real-time visual communications are being incorporated as an
integral part of day-to-day communications. Patients are hoping that
soon the time will come when they can pick up their phones and have a
real video/audio chat with their physicians. Consulting physicians must
have a high level of expertise to accurately read digital images of the
patient and arrive at a diagnosis. In most countries, radiologists are
required to obtain a license and undergo training to work as a
teleradiologist. With many technological advancements in the filed of
imaging and communications, the requirement for teleradiologists has
increased significantly. The expertise of the physician/teleradiologist
is emerging as a key challenge confronting the teleimaging industry.
Security issues are also clouding the industry landscape. For preserving
a patients privacy and ensuring the security of the data transmitted, a
major step in developing the technology platform is enabling secure
solutions. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA) regulations have been implemented to ensure that data is
encrypted before transmission in order to prevent any kind of hacker
interception.

The teleimaging industry is taking huge strides forward with audio,
video, and Web access, and data can be unified in a stand-alone
monitoring system. Miniaturization of these technologies can be
anticipated in the near future. The key focus of all technology
developers in the teleimaging sector is to present an easy interface for
patients and to capture all vital information at the point of care.
Emerging wireless sensors offer patients more mobility and autonomy in
home settings. Prolific growth in these teleimaging applications has
empowered physicians and nurses to provide better and consistent patient
care even while the patient is located outside of hospital/clinical
settings.
