Cloud-Based Services Provider Acquired by Medical Technology Company

A company specializing in remote viewing of radiology and pathology systems using cloud-based technology, based in the European market, has been acquired by a major medical Internet Technology (IT) vendor.

The company, RxEye (Stockholm, Sweden) was acquired by Sectra (Linköping, Sweden). Sectra develops IT systems, and services for radiology, orthopedics, rheumatology, and other image-intensive hospital departments. RxEye is being acquired by Sectra’s Imaging IT Solutions business area. Current RxEye’s customers using the RxEye Cloud network are located in Sweden, Norway and France.

RxEye had sales of around SEK 7 million in the 2015 financial year. The company’s cloud-based services are designed for efficient and secure viewing of radiology, pathology, nuclear medicine images, and for use in teleradiology.

Torbjörn Kronander, president and CEO, Sectra, said, “Providing services to the medical care sector via the Internet is a delivery model that we can see is increasing in importance and remote viewing of medical images is a growing area due to efficiency requirements and, in certain cases, staff shortages in the medical care sector. RxEye is a small company with products that complement our offering of IT services, which can enhance the efficiency of communication and use of resources in medical care.”
