Follow on Google News | A ‘Kodak Moment’ That Lives On in Rochester– Digital Imaging & Software Company Logical ImagesAs Kodak files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to begin reorganization, Logical Images acknowledges the importance the industry leader has played in creating a region of imaging innovation here in Rochester.
By: Logical Images, Inc. Years before Kodak sold its healthcare division, Logical Images was focused on integrating software search with digital imagery, building the world’s most comprehensive database of nearly 90,000 medical images and transforming it into a diagnostic support system for medical professionals. Centered on the idea that humans have a natural ability to recognize patterns, the software developed by Logical Images – called VisualDx – harnesses the power of over 23,000 medical images to help physicians make better decisions with the visible aspects of medicine. In the shadow of Kodak, Logical Images developed the VisualDx desktop software and native apps for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and Android devices. Designed to aid physicians in the diagnosis of both common and rare conditions as well as medication adverse events and medication-induced disease, the product is currently licensed throughout the US by physicians, medical universities, hospitals, and health systems including all VHA medical facilities. Last year, VisualDx Mobile was named a “Top Five Medical App” by Harvard Medical School and was recently recognized as the Category Leader for Clinical Decision Support in the 2011 Best in KLAS Awards: Software & Services report. The software and medical images are also integral to a highly utilized public Web site called Skinsight that helps patients understand skin diseases and is used nearly one million times per month. While the future of Eastman Kodak is uncertain, its pioneering tradition of innovation in imaging is alive and well in Rochester, NY, reshaping the face of healthcare technology in the digital age.
