Any suggestion about medical technology startups on HN inevitably brings a rain of comments (often including one from me) about how the regulatory burden is too high, getting approval is a job for lawyers not coders, etc. Kudos to MedXT for doing it anyway.
Firstly, Great job on launching! Secondly, get ready for the most difficult, sloth-slow, gut wrenching sales cycles of your life. Any serious ($$) players looking for software like this take absolutely forever to make decisions on this. And, if you're workflow-process is even slower by a few seconds compared to what rad's are currently using, they will shut you down. So please please, make sure you are absolutely faster, smoother and better then _anything_ else on the market.<p>Disclosure: I've worked with some serious venture backed (50MM+) companies doing almost exactly this. I would love to give you a full heads up on what to expect. But making excellent scheduling alone is an incredibly difficult feat. Our team spent considerable time working with the absolutely top imaging facilities in the US just to get scheduling down to a science.<p>Go destroy those big guys! (AGFA/Fuji/GE etc)
I think the major gain here really is getting expert opinion over the internet. I almost worked on a project in grad school trying to compress 3D medical datasets compiled from CT scans using marching cubes, so you can stream these to doctors. I know there is definitely a need, and this solution looks far superior. Are there any plans for 3D datasets on either the server or client side? Radiologists can discover plaque in your heart much faster without sorting through each slide.
How is this different from existing PACS applications such as what eHealth Technologies offers?<p><a href="http://www.ehealthtechnologies.com/solutions/health-information-exchange/image-exchange" rel="nofollow">http://www.ehealthtechnologies.com/solutions/health-informat...</a>
MedXT also has a reddit integration. Read about it here: <a href="https://medium.com/@reshmakhilnani/marketing-your-boring-enterprise-software-on-reddit-9109e0218113" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/@reshmakhilnani/marketing-your-boring-ent...</a>
3$/study with unlimited HL7 integrations? I'm really curious how that makes financial sense unless HL7 integrations and their required VPNs are billed separately or strictly a "on your own" proposition.
