Founder MUDr. Peter Bluska saw inefficiencies in writing medical reports when his senior colleagues were rewriting text macros with negative medical reports, where they changed the patient's findings, which were often repeated. Therefore, he first created only a desktop application based on the creation of medical reports based on filling out a form for an individual radiological examination.
Reprogramming to a web application, which already contained a form editor with its own simple programming language, so that even a less technically proficient user - a doctor, could create or at least modify the form with its output according to his habits. Subsequently, a number of libraries were created for the forms of most radiological examinations from modalities such as X-ray, USG, CT and MR.
The idea was joined by computer scientists Ing. Adrián Jendrichovský and Ing. Štefan Varga, who reprogrammed the old platform and editor into a new outfit and gave it a commercial look. The libraries were translated into Czech using automatic translation, certified Czech radiologists are working on their editing.
The company has created non-commercial academic software for creating anonymized datasets composed of radiological images and medical annotations for training artificial intelligence. The way the datasets work was verified at the Department of Computer Graphics and Vision at the Department of Applied Informatics of the Comenius University in Bratislava, with which we have an above-standard multi-year cooperation.
With the AGEL SK group, which is the largest private health care provider in Central Europe, we entered into a joint project in 2023 to create radiological datasets in their facilities in Slovakia. At the beginning of 2024, we obtained a GO rating with our project in a short proposal within the EIC Accelerator. We therefore plan to create an international platform for standardization and artificial intelligence in radiology.
