Philips Unveils Tele-cardiology Feature

Netherlands-based Philips introduced new enhancements to Xcelera that feature “tele-cardiology” capabilities designed to increase access to images and information.

According to the company, Xcelera R3.1’s new tele-cardiology capabilities can support clinical workflow and help provide faster sharing capabilities for cardiac patient information. Tele-cardiology allows remote access to cardiac information, image sharing with referring physicians and the ability to access Xcelera functionality through other applications such as an EHR, it says.
