At HIMSS 2014, Claron Technology will display enhancements for its Nil family of universal, zero-footprint viewers. The new technology will facilitate steamlined image and video upload for both mobile devices and desktop PCs on its NilRead and NilShare viewers.
“Mobile devices have quickly become established in many fields for easy-to-use input of image and video,” said Claudio Gatti, co-CEO for Claron. “But in healthcare, adding mobile device images into a patient clinical record is not straightforward. With our new Nil enhancements we made attaching any image or video to the patient record extremely easy. In addition, this new technology requires a browser only. It does not require installation of an app or engine, making Nil the easiest to deploy universal viewer. The new technology supports not only mobile devices but also allows zero-footprint upload of both DICOM and non-DICOM data from notebook and desktop computers. It complements Nil’s existing heavy duty NilFeed web uploader, with a simplified technology for the occasional upload and for input from mobile devices, camera or video.”
Claron will also demonstrate DICOM file streaming supporting integration with multiple DICOM archives in a cache-less configuration. The data streams seamlessly from the remote PACS or VNA to Nil, presenting the user with the images as they are transferred. Nil also introduces support for the recently approved RESTful DICOM web services (WADO-RS, QIDO-RS, and STOW-RS). These services provide protocols to connect medical devices utilizing the Web, expanding Nil viewers’ connectivity options.
At HIMSS, the company will also demonstrate plugin-free support for several video formats that are part of many EHR archives, including Mpeg4, AVI, and Quicktime. Nil extends its non-DICOM support to include native raster formats, such as jpeg, png, tiff, bmp, and PDF, and now supports arbitrary binary objects within the record, including any Microsoft Office and audio file.
