Bleepa offers the opportunity to expand Quest's existing teleradiology service by allowing clinicians and radiologists to discuss cases directly, alongside the traditional teleradiology reporting model.
Quest is one of India's emerging teleradiology organisations with customers across India, the UK and throughout Africa.
Under the collaboration, Quest will trial Bleepa's technology with some of its international customers, to understand the added value that case discussion brings to traditional outsourced reporting models.
Usually, it is often difficult for a requesting clinician to discuss the case with the radiologist who reports it, as they have to rely on email or switchboard coordinated calls.
Similarly, it is difficult for the reporting radiologist to get additional clinical information beyond what is contained in the imaging request, but which could improve the quality of their report. This leads to customer dissatisfaction with many outsourced reporting services, the AIM-listed group said.
“This collaboration is expected to put Bleepa in the hands of more clinicians and key stakeholders and we are delighted to have been chosen to enhance Quest's product offering,” said Feedback’s chief executive Dr Tom Oakley.
“Quest brings significant expertise as well as a strong network of contacts, customers and opportunities through which we aim to introduce Bleepa.”
