Kent Imaging Partners with Healthliant Ventures to Pilot SnapshotNIR at Tanner Health
Kent Imaging is proud to announce a new partnership with Healthliant Ventures, the innovation arm of Tanner Health, to bring real-time tissue oxygenation imaging into clinical workflows using the SnapshotNIR device.
This two-phase pilot project will demonstrate how SnapshotNIR enhances wound care and clinical decision-making, with future integration into Epic’s EHR system to streamline documentation and improve patient outcomes.
“We’re excited to partner with Healthliant Ventures and Tanner Health to bring the power of SnapshotNIR into the clinical environment,” said Pierre Lemire, CEO of Kent Imaging. “This collaboration highlights how real-time tissue oxygenation imaging can be embedded into existing workflows to support more informed, ethical and efficient care. By delivering objective data directly into the EHR, we’re enabling clinicians to justify treatments, document decisions accurately and ultimately improve patient outcomes.”
“Partnering with Kent Imaging on SnapshotNIR illustrates our commitment to bringing advanced imaging technologies into everyday clinical practice,” said Steve West, managing director of Healthliant Ventures. “This pilot underscores our ability to deepen clinical workflows, help clinicians access better data and ultimately deliver improved patient outcomes.”
