Sirona Medical, a pioneer in cloud-native radiology workflow software, has announced its general support for SpaceX’s Starlink internet. This move is set to enhance Sirona’s top-tier performance, making it accessible from virtually any location across the globe.
Raghu Nyamagoudar, VP of Engineering at Sirona, addressed the challenges that radiology’s transition to the cloud has faced over the past five years, especially concerning image load times for PACS. He remarked, “With our general support for Starlink, Sirona now ensures that every radiologist in the country can benefit from our unparalleled workflow performance, wherever Starlink offers its services in the US, and soon, worldwide.”
Dr. Samir Mehta, Sirona’s Head of Clinical Operations, shared his experience, noting, “Using Sirona with Starlink support, even from remote locations like a mountain in Colorado, provides faster image loading, precise speech-to-text, and a streamlined workflow compared to other PACS & reporting systems.”
Since 2018, Sirona Medical has garnered close to $100 million in funding to innovate radiology IT for the cloud. Their unique architecture not only augments the accessibility and value of AI for radiologists but also allows practices to merge their varied IT systems onto a single, universal reading platform. This integration can lead to clinical efficiencies of up to 25%. With the general support for Starlink, Sirona aims to democratize access, ensuring all radiologists have equal access to essential tools.
Cameron Andrews, Founder & CEO of Sirona, emphasized the company’s vision, stating, “Our objective is to equip every radiologist with the tools necessary for optimal patient care. By offering general support for Starlink, we ensure that radiologists, whether in urban or remote areas, can equally benefit from our platform. Today, we’re assisting our clients in reaching America’s most isolated communities, and in the future, we aim to help radiologists globally in delivering top-tier diagnostic care.”
“Adopting a unified cloud-native platform was crucial to address radiology’s ‘cloud performance’ challenges. This innovative approach is a game-changer for radiology, and we’re excited to showcase more of our solutions during our public launch on November 13th,” said Dr. Mark Longo, CTO at Sirona.
Now this is one way to generate buzz for your launch–declare your love for SpaceX’s Starlink (it worked).
