Feedback PLC (AIM:FDBK, FRA:GZM) officially launched Bleepa Box, a specialist tool that enables medical image transfer from remote settings to the company’s Bleepa platform.
It follows the success of the product concept in field trials with the equine division of CVS Group (AIM:CVSG) PLC, the UK's largest veterinarian chain.
Bleepa Box is a small tablet device that connects to imaging machines in order to securely push images to Bleepa over a mobile network from remote locations.
Feedback’s Bleepa system allows physicians and vets to view and share securely medical images such as x-rays and MRI scans on mobile phones and tablets.
Chief executive, Dr Tom Oakley, said: "This technology was a solution created, designed and launched to support the work we are doing in the veterinary market with CVS and we are now taking the steps to formally build a brand around this capability.
“Imaging of horses is typically done in remote stables without WiFi, but there is often the need for timely advice and guidance by specialists whilst the vet is with the animal.
“We developed the store and forward technology that enables them to analyse and treat animals on-site, which reduces the vet's workload, travel time and is certainly better for the animal.”
Oakley added that clearly there were other relevant, adjacent uses for the new box allowing the company to develop the product “across a range of industries”.
“We anticipate that the product can be sold in combination with Bleepa or potentially as a standalone offering to facilitate image sharing to other third-party systems such as PACS [picture archiving and communication systems],” the Feedback CEO added.
