MIM launches medical imaging app for patients

MIM Software’s VueMe App for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch is now available on the App Store.

This new app allows patients to view diagnostic images sent by their physicians, and to share these images, if needed, with specialists. The launch of VueMe comes on the heels of Mobile MIM, MIM Software's remote diagnostic imaging app for physicians.

Along with VueMe, MIM Software has also just released MIMcloud 2.0, an internet-based service designed to meet the needs of VueMe and Mobile MIM users. When using MIMcloud, all data are transferred and stored using secure encryption to ensure complete patient privacy.

The combination of the VueMe App and MIMcloud provides a way for patients to control their medical images. Patients have the right to request copies of their x-rays and other scans on a CD. The DICOM files can then be uploaded and transmitted to an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch using the MIMcloud software, according to the Cleveland-based provider of medical imaging software.

Around the web

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care.
