PARAMUS, N.J. (CitizenWire) — Topcon Medical Systems announced today that the mobile version of its successful EyeRoute® Image Management Suite is now available as a dedicated iPhone application from the Apple® iTunes store in North America. First presented in October 2009 at the American Academy of Ophthalmology Meeting in San Francisco, EyeRoute Mobile sets the stage for connectivity on the go.
Ophthalmologists who have incorporated the EyeRoute in their practice, can now securely access images and reports from any 3GS-compatible iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, via EyeRoute Mobile even when out of the clinic, from anywhere Internet connectivity is available.
Using the EyeRoute® Mobile’s intuitive touch screen, patient images stored in EyeRoute can be listed by modality or visit date, and reviewed, panned, zoomed, enhanced, and annotated with text and audio dictation options. Once reviewed, a smart integrated messaging system allows users to share information with other EyeRoute users through the network.
Dr. Julia Haller, MD, Ophthalmologist-in-Chief at Wills Eye Hospital, among the very first users of the EyeRoute® Mobile, states that, “I view this new addition to the EyeRoute suite as a veritable boon in enabling practitioners to stay connected wherever they are in the world. Now, more than ever before, with Topcon’s EyeRoute iPhone application all members of the Wills Eye network, including those working in, remote areas can connect with our EyeRoute patient database on-the-go.”
The EyeRoute® Mobile application can be downloaded from the Apple iTunes store, at an attractive early adopter price of $19.99 for the first year. Even users who currently do not utilize EyeRoute in their practice still gain access to an extensive demo database of images and pathologies and the various viewing and editing features. Customers who utilize EyeRoute in their practice can then activate the link to the mobile application and gain access to their own EyeRoute database. A 3GS-compatible iPhone with an OS 3.0 provides optimal performance and is recommended for integration with EyeRoute Mobile.
“In our quest to provide practitioners with enhanced diagnostic solutions, at Topcon Medical we believe that the integration of EyeRoute with the iPhone will enable eye care professionals to achieve greater workflow efficiencies and benefit both practitioners and patients with significant time and cost savings owing to its virtually anywhere, anytime access for quick reference,” says Katrin Teigeler, VP of Marketing at Topcon.
