First partner brings real-time decision-making for wound care plus innovative and non-invasive oxygenation imaging
Pittsburgh – January 26, 2021 – Tissue Analytics, a Net Health company that provides software solutions for the wound care industry, announced today that the company has partnered with Calgary, Canada-based Kent Imaging, Inc. to be the first member of its new application programming interface (APIs) program. The API was announced in December, with additional partners scheduled to join in the coming months.
Kent Imaging is a leading innovator in oxygenation imaging that develops,
manufactures, and markets medical technology that supports real-time decision
making in wound care, vascular and surgical subspecialties. Tissue Analytics is the market leader in
wound imaging, providing artificial intelligence-powered software solutions
that serve hospitals, post-acute facilities, and clinical trials.
The new agreement with Net Health
enables Kent Imaging to expand the footprint and interoperability of their
flagship product, SnapshotNIR®, which utilizes near-infrared light
to determine tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), a key indicator of tissue health.
Through the technology, clinicians are better able to plan appropriate
interventions, reduce complications and improve outcomes.
“Our integration with Kent Imaging is
the perfect example of the value of Net Health’s API,” said Kevin Keenahan, Senior
Vice President of Business Development for Net Health and a founder of Tissue
Analytics. “This agreement highlights how and why our API can benefit a wide
range of industry innovators.”
Net Health’s API also enables vendors to
benefit from the company’s downstream connections with leading wound care electronic
health record (EHR) systems, including Net Health® Wound Care (formerly
WoundExpert®), the most widely used wound care-specific
EHR in the nation, as
well as Cerner, Epic and others.
“Kent Imaging is excited to work with Net
Health through the Tissue Analytics API to ensure that critical information on
the state of a wound is incorporated into the patient record at every visit,” said
Pierre Lemire, CEO of Kent Imaging. “The integrated product streamlines
workflow while providing documented tissue oxygenation data to complete the
patient chart. By making our product interoperable with leading EMRs, we are
ensuring that a wide range of clinicians and patients can access our innovative
technology.”
Dr. Luc Marengere, Managing Partner, TVM Capital Life Science and member of the Board of Directors at Kent Imaging, also applauds the new partnership. “Collaborating with Net Health, a leader in the wound care market, will support the accelerated adoption of the SnapshotNIR technology,” says Marengere. “Clear unmet needs in wound care, such as non-healing wounds, are a huge burden with respect to patient outcome and ever-rising healthcare costs. Delivering innovative solutions through partnership provides synergy in responding positively to this growing concern.”
