Hospital group signs framework agreement with mbits

With 160 medical facilities in 14 German counties and more than two million patients treated, Asklepios is one of the leading hospital groups in Germany. We are pleased that we could convince Asklepios of the advantages of mRay so that the hospital group would like to extend the use of our app to other clinics.

At the end of last year, the Asklepios clinics of the "Hamburg cluster" had already decided in favor of mRay. With 7 acute care clinics, including the Asklepios clinics Altona, Barmbek, Wandsbek, Harburg and Clinik Nord, the cluster uses mRay throughout the Hanseatic city for radiology and on-call service.

With the new framework agreement, the clinics in the south can also be connected via mRay for teleradiological reasons.

CEO Ingmar Gergel answers questions asked by medical students

On 28.07.2020 the first digital start-up consultation of the Bundesvertretung der Medizinstudierenden in Deutschland - bvmd took place. The digital meeting served to establish contact between start-ups and medical students. 45 students had the opportunity to interview industry representatives from the medical technology sector. mbits CEO Dr. Gergel along with three other guests answered the students' questions.

Telemedicine, mobile applications and AI controlled algorithms are more and more significant. With mRay these topics are already realizable today and simplify flexible diagnosis, communication and documentation of radiological images in many clinics. A new edition of the consultation format is already planned.

Eppdata uses mRay

More and more clinics internationally are relying on mRay. The Huahin Hospital in Thailand has been using our application for some time now as a communication app for the doctors working there.

In Germany, Eppdata has also opted for mRay. The subsidiary company of the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf trusts for "Faster Sampling And Analysis For Interventional Neuroradiolgoy" in cooperation with the UKE on our App. We would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in us.

My Radiology Holding becomes partner of mbits

On August 1, 2020, mbits imaging GmbH will start a strategic partnership with Meine Radiologie Holding (MRH Group) - a large network of radiological practices throughout Germany that is constantly growing.

Meine Radiologie Holding offers successful owners of radiological, nuclear medicine or radiotherapy practices a professional succession solution by taking over practices, group practices and medical care centres, accompanying the handover process and helping the retiring owners to ensure the long-term preservation of their life's work.

Our mRay app will be rolled out to all MRH Group sites, so that all radiologists in the group can benefit from it without restriction. In a press release of the MRH Group it says: "Thanks to the innovative app we provide more flexibility in services for our physicians and enable faster transmission of findings to our cooperation partners and patients".

Our App as "Perspektive 21 - Time for Changes"

"Eight ideas from the time of the Corona crisis to push health forward", says landdergesundheit.de under the heading "Perspective 21". This includes our app mRay and our campaign, to offer the app for the duration of the crisis free of charge.

The platform for health issues of the future, run by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer, became aware of us through the coverage of "Germany Land of Ideas", who in the context of the initiative #beyondcirises already spoke of mRay as a crisis innovation.

Our app comes off very well here

The Deutsche Ärzteblatt - a news portal for physicians - has taken a close look at our app. The editorial team's assessments were published in a detailed article .

"With mRay the manufacturer offers a platform-independent application. The demo version of the app offers a first impression of the possibilities and the way it is used," it comes to a conclusion.

In addition, the portal also provides a much more detailed PDF by the Center for Telematics and Telemedicine, that lists the underlying "Test documents for the application 'mRay DICOM Viewer'".

mRay is presented as a "Beyond Crisis Project"

The innovation platform "Germany Land of Ideas" was recently became aware to our app mRay and is now presenting it as part of the initiative #beyondcrisis. The aim of the initiative is to make good ideas and innovations visible that help in the Corona Crisis or arise from it and support them with a network.

"Germany - Land of Ideas" carried out the image campaign of the Federal Government and the German economy for the Football World Cup 2006, which was actually only planned for one year. Due to the positive response, the operators have since then been looking for good ideas and innovations and making them visible, to highlight the positive aspects of Germany and provide impetus for the future.

With many new use cases and improvements

Since last week a new version of our app mRay is available via the appstores. For the first time it is also available for Windows as a direct download from the Microsoft Store. The new major release offers numerous new features:

> A screen-sharing function allows you to view the image data live with colleagues with whom you can also communicate directly via voice transmission.

> From now on, you can create chat groups yourself or simply open a group for a specific study or case.

> An image orientation indicator (L R S A) simplifies orientation within the scans.

> You can send the medical images via link and thus make them available to your patients quickly and easily.

> Among other new features, improvements in the referral portal, the barcode scanner and the data exchange between server and client lead to increased user-friendliness and performance.

#Stay up to date

As one of the first medical device manufacturers

The original starting date for the scope of the new Medical Device Regulation (MDR) EU 2017/745 was 26 May 2020. Due to the corona crisis, the new Medical Device Regulation was postponed by a whole year, as a changeover even under regular operation would have posed major challenges for many medical technology companies, which they were not to be burdened with during the exceptional situation caused by Covid-19.

mbits had already switched quality management to MDR before the Corona crisis. The just released new version of our app mRay 6.0 has already been developed according to MDR guidelines.

The changeover requires some fundamental adjustments to existing workflows - a major challenge. The Emergency Aid Program of the Health Industry BW develops group-specific content together with companies and makes it available.

When doctors have to go to the home office

In the "Nano Magazin" the ZDF presents our app mRay, with which doctors are able to work mobile and if necessary from homeoffice. In the current situation it is particularly evident, how important such a mobile software solution is. -> WATCH THE CLIP <-
