Singular Health Group (SHG) has released its Medical File Transfer Protocol (MFTP), allowing practitioners to securely send and receive diagnostics data.
The healthcare business released its MFTP product as part of the wider 3Dicom v2.5.0 software release.
SHG said the MFTP compliments its Scan to Surgery and 3Dicom Viewer technologies.
As the company explained, MFTP acts as a transfer software that allows medical images to be shared between practitioners and patients.
“MFTP acts as a backbone infrastructure for transfer of medical images and 3D design files between different modalities to share imaging files for the 3Dicom software on desktop, mobile devices and VR headsets throughout the Scan to SurgeryTM process,” the company explained.
Chief Technology Officer Thomas Morrell said the MFTP also uses a blockchain base, allowing for a full audit of who has accessed a patient’s private medical information.
Mr Morrell said he’s proud of how SHG’s entire tech suite allows for the secure transfer of medical images.
“The ability to quickly and securely transfer the actual DICOM and design files from practitioner-to-practitioner and practitioner-to-patient provides numerous future opportunities for telehealth, collaborative review and design, and a better involvement of all stakeholders in a patient’s journey.
“I’m very proud of our dedicated developers to deliver such a complex system and
integrate it into our existing software.”
SHG shares were trading up 4.76 per cent at 33 cents each at 1:08 pm AEST.
