Datica and Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare Co-present at AWS re:Invent 2017 about Standardizing Compliance on the Cloud

MADISON, WIS. — NOVEMBER 16, 2017

Datica, the cloud platform for digital health applications, today announced the selection of Adam Leko, the company’s chief technology officer and David Deas, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare’s (MLH) corporate director, innovation & knowledge analytics, for a joint healthcare presentation on how to eliminate HIPAA compliance as a barrier to speed-to-market hospital development goals at this year’s AWS re:Invent conference.

“In 2017, Datica has enabled several hospital systems to more effectively reduce capital and operational costs by safely and securely moving to the cloud in a compliant manner,” said Leko. “This presentation will show how MLH uses the compliant Datica platform to ensure that the configuration and orchestration of Amazon Web Services (AWS) HIPAA-eligible services meet the controls set by the healthcare’s most stringent accreditation body, HITRUST, with every workload deployment.”

While demand for on-premises infrastructure has diminished in healthcare, the adoption of cloud-based solutions has grown exponentially. Cloud computing is proving that it expands accessibility to healthcare data and Datica’s platform is helping those health systems interested in deploying digital health applications in the cloud to meet the rigorous security and regulatory compliance standards of the industry.

“By removing security concerns as a barrier to using cloud-based systems, Datica has opened up a new world of possibilities that we would otherwise have been too cautious to undertake. Leveraging the ease and expandability of the compliant Datica platform running on AWS we have greatly accelerated our Innovation team’s capabilities, which allows us to play out ‘what if’ scenarios without large capital commitments or burdensome ROI proofs,” said Deas of MLH. “All of this has expanded the number of projects we can tackle and lead to a remarkable transformation in how we approach healthcare innovation.”

The Datica/MLH 60-minute live presentation, How Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare’s Focus on Standardizing Compliant Ops Led to Breakthrough Apps will take place on Monday, November 27 at the Venetian, Level 2, Venetian F in Las Vegas at 12:15 Pacific Time.

ImageMoverMD Presenting Its Suite of Solutions at RSNA Annual Meeting

The only technology that transforms image management for all types of medical images

MADISON, Wis. (Nov. 15, 2017) — ImageMoverMD, a convenient way to securely move and access medical images and photos, will present its latest capability, ImageMover Modality, twice during the RSNA Annual Meeting. Each presentation will highlight Modality, in addition to showing how the complete platform complements healthcare systems’ enterprise imaging strategy.

ImageMover Modality captures and archives point-of-care images from medical devices such as mobile ultrasound units, fluoroscopy and endoscopy devices. This capability further ensures that any image taken—whether it was from a scheduled appointment or not—is recorded and accurately linked to the patient EHR. Too often, these studies don’t make it to the EHR or VNA/PACS, resulting in clinical gaps and lost revenue. ImageMoverMD’s EHR integration enables on-the-fly order creation, ensuring that images are linked to the patient record in a fraction of the time.

“ImageMover Modality is a great addition to the ImageMover platform, further enhancing the way healthcare systems manage its medical imaging,” said Darcey Nett, president of ImageMoverMD. “With a range of available solutions on one platform, users can optimize their current processes depending on their immediate needs.”

As a whole, the platform’s principles allow for a deep integration into EHR workflows to enhance value. It also allows healthcare enterprises to derive additional benefits from existing systems. ImageMoverMD’s additional solutions include:

• ImageMover Mobile: Allows seamless workflow integration to bring patient photos from mobile devices directly into an organization’s medical imaging archive and medical record. It’s fast, simple and HIPAA compliant.
• ImageMover DICOM: Allows importing of outside DICOM medical imaging directly into your organizations medical imaging archive. This solution provides smart automation, matching the imported images directly to the correct patient.
• ImageMover Media: Provides advanced media importing features, allowing MPEG video, GIF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and PDF media objects to be imported into the medical imaging archive and linked to the patient encounter.

EatStreet co-founders named to the Forbes 30 Under 30

High-profile honorees include Madison company’s CEO and chief technology officer

Madison, Wisconsin – Forbes has named EatStreet co-founders Matt Howard and Alex Wyler to its prestigious 2018 30 Under 30, unveiled today.

Howard, CEO, and Wyler, chief technology officer, were named to the consumer technology category, marking the first time Wisconsin tech startup leaders were chosen by Forbes for this category. The 30 Under 30 includes 600 winners, ranging from top entrepreneurs and innovators to philanthropists and difference-makers.

“Matt and Alex had a vision from day one to build a pioneering, tech-based business in the Midwest,” said Joe Kirgues of gener8tor. “Being named to Forbes 30 Under 30 is reflective of their dedication to creating a successful business and solving a problem consumers care about.”

Inclusion on the list further solidifies that EatStreet’s ongoing growth and customer-focused strategies are not only effective, but also respected nationally. The recognition comes on the heels of consistent national sales growth, the addition of delivery as a core service and more than $38.5 million in venture capital funding.

Howard and Wyler co-founded EatStreet in a University of Wisconsin dorm room in 2010 to address food delivery problems they faced: trivial consumer delivery fees and lackluster service to restaurants. They’ve since built an intuitive online food-ordering and delivery platform, including a website and apps, to provide an experience that erases the distance between hungry and happy for 1.7 million diners in 250-plus U.S. cities.

“It’s amazing to be recognized on this list with other young people who are improving and changing the world,” said Matt Howard, CEO of EatStreet. “This recognition is a big deal for us, but we hope it goes beyond that by bringing more attention to our Midwest tech community, which is vibrant and full of talent.”

MADISON, WI – November 8, 2017 – In order to accommodate a rapidly growing team for their facilities management software solution, Madison-based tech company AkitaBox has moved to 212 East Washington Avenue.

The 10,200 square foot suite offers plenty of space for collaboration and features a large number of dedicated, department-specific breakout spaces, conference rooms and windows with downtown city views.
