New iOS-compatible app provides mobile access to medical images

Ambra Health has launched its iOS-compatible medical image mobile application, which gives healthcare providers access to medical images on the go. The app supports imaging types from any connected PACS, including MRI, CT, PET and ultrasound, among others.

“Digital health is an increasingly mobile first experience,” Morris Panner, CEO of Ambra Health, said in a prepared statement. “The Ambra app offers a quick and intuitive way for physicians to access medical images anytime, anywhere, and also enables providers to image enable patient and referring physician digital health apps.”

Though not intended for diagnostic use, app users have immediate access to past and present images in study lists. They can view images from anywhere and can also zoom in, pinch and rotate images. The images can be securely shared from the app to other physicians, administrators and even patients.
