The primary function is to provide a central, secure repository for all an athlete's clinical data, including high-resolution medical images (like X-rays and MRIs) and historical medical records.
Key Capabilities and Benefits
The solution is designed to address the unique challenges of sports medicine, where clinicians require immediate and secure access to data while traveling or working remotely. It allows Sports Exercise and Medicine (SEM) professionals to easily and securely upload, store, protect, share, review, and compare new and historical medical images and records.
