PITTSBURGH, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 outcomes and ever-rising healthcare
costs. Delivering innovative solutions through partnership provides
synergy in responding positively to this growing concern."
