Founded in 2000, TeleMED Diagnostic Management Inc. is an Ontario-based medical data management company that designs, builds, and implements customized, electronic solutions for managing and sharing ECG and other vital-sign test data. TeleMED's solutions utilize cloud technology and feature leading-edge functionality for privacy protection, customized report generation and quality assurance monitoring. TeleMED's current solution, ViTELflo, for managing cardiology tests, is used by 70 percent of Canadian pathology laboratory networks and decreases clinician time by 15 minutes per test through short loading times, streamlined mark up and analysis, and report generation.TeleMED is collaborating with Seneca to expand the types of tests that are compatible with ViTELflo to include image-based diagnostics. The challenge is not simply to provide an image-viewer, but to develop an image viewer with tools and manipulators, annotation capabilities, and reporting tools that supports the workflow of the clinician. With this primary goal in mind, Seneca will also be developing and applying methods to reduce loading and latency times for the potentially very large file sizes, and also examine the potential for tablet support to provide clinicians more flexibility in where and when they review the diagnostic tests. With the ability to quickly and seamlessly load image- and non-image-based diagnostics data of even very large file sizes, TeleMED will be able to expand its client services, attract new clients, and provide better and faster access to medical diagnostics data to clinicians.
