Web-based internet medical imaging viewing technology is still in its early stages, yet market demand for this technology is robust. In China, more than 10 million new patients with major diseases are diagnosed annually, including 1 million tuberculosis patients, 3 million cancer patients, 2 million patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, 2 million patients with neurological disorders, and 1 million patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries. Thirty percent of these patients require personal second opinions, and the diagnosis and formulation of treatment plans for these conditions rely heavily on imaging data.
In such scenarios, professional internet-based medical imaging viewing technology support becomes particularly crucial. Weiyun Imaging is one of the pioneers in this field.
Fast and Professional
The founding team of Weiyun Imaging told VCBeat that current internet-based medical imaging viewing products are either native applications or apps dependent on the operating system, or simple modifications of open-source solutions, resulting in slow image loading and rendering, as well as poor performance.
The standout feature of the technology provided by WeiYun Imaging is its speed, with the first image displayed in approximately one second (typically over five seconds). This effectively addresses the challenges of transmitting, storing, and utilizing medical images in internet-based applications, making medical imaging readily accessible anytime, anywhere.
Moreover, MicroCloud Imaging boasts full-featured, diagnostic-grade medical imaging viewing technology, encompassing basic functions such as window width and level adjustment, as well as advanced capabilities including single-frame continuous playback, measurement, annotation, and localization lines. Future developments will include pure Web-based 3D reconstruction and other features.
Basic Service Provider for Internet Medical Imaging
Weiyun Imaging’s ultimate goal is to provide hospitals and third-party mobile health providers with professional internet-based medical imaging platforms and technologies. As a means of promotion and demonstration of technical capabilities, Weiyun Imaging’s initial product is an imaging sharing service based on social media platforms. The target users of this product include clinicians and radiologists who need to discuss medical images, as well as patients requiring remote consultations based on imaging results.
The specific procedure is as follows: Users can describe the case they wish to share on the Weiyun Imaging platform and upload the relevant medical images (DICOM files) to cloud storage. The identifying information embedded in the images is anonymized in the cloud, generating a unique link for this set of images. Users can then share this link with WeChat contacts, group chats, or on Weibo. Recipients can directly open the link within Weibo or WeChat to access the uploaded images and description, and provide their opinions or engage in discussion.
In addition, MicroCloud Imaging plans to provide image distribution technology for clinical departments and patients, enabling patients to directly view their hospital examination images online. In the future, it will offer hospital-wide, professional, pure Web-based imaging technology designed for internet access.
Currently, the product is in preparation and will soon be launched. Meanwhile, the team is preparing for an angel financing round.
Team Background
The core team of Weiyun Imaging possesses extensive experience in the design, development, and management of medical software products at renowned multinational corporations in the healthcare industry. Additionally, the team has substantial implementation experience with telemedicine systems, document imaging platforms, RIS/PACS, and integration platforms at numerous large Grade-A tertiary hospitals, maintaining strong collaborative relationships with hospital Information Technology Departments and Radiology Departments.
