Moving on up: Mobile MRI system demand is increasing, as provisions expandSeptember 19, 2018Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the fastest growing and most versatile of all the imaging modalities. However, reducing healthcare budgets is a continuing trend, and this can sometimes deter investment towards the installation of additional MRI imaging facilities at clinical settings. Radiologists are under increased pressure to provide high-quality levels of service to patients, despite the increase in patient throughput, and the reduction of investment in healthcare provisions.

Connectivity is everywhere, but continuity is nowhere.May 29, 2018The value proposition of consumer medical devices should not be ignored, not now, as consumers increasingly engage in personal health, nor in the future of healthcare, where patient generated data is instrumental in population health management. Connectivity rates have increased immensely in the last five years, pointing at better circumstances for integrated health initiatives, yet meaningful use has not moved much. Connectivity should not be mistaken for continuity.
