Cardiology software for the hospital

Cardiological and angiological procedures

MediConnect® is the established CVIS platform for imaging and findings management in the field of cardiology. With its high number of interfaces, MediConnect® can be flexibly integrated in existing IT, medical technology, and network architectures. The reporting workflows, which can be easily adapted without the need for programming, enable documentation to be tailored to individual customers and their specific requirements. MediConnect® enables you to cover all the requirements of a future-proof cardiovascular information system in your clinic.

Non-invasive methods of functional diagnostics

With or without imaging, the various non-invasive diagnostic procedures can be characterized by an extremely heterogeneous device structure. Thus it is essential that in nearly all hospitals, functional diagnostic equipment as well as expert analysis software from a wide range of manufacturers are used in parallel. MediConnect® integrates the data from these isolated applications and supports uniform management process. Whether waveforms, images, loops, measured values, or texts, it is simple to create reports, even with complex workflows. You can generate a template-based findings report at the touch of a button.
