Agfa HealthCare introduced today IMPAX™ Mobile*, an ultra-thin, web-deployable client that enables secure, wireless image distribution. IMPAX Mobile will extend Agfa's IMPAX 6.0 PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) beyond the enterprise, giving healthcare providers secure "anywhere access" to patient data and images.

IMPAX Mobile will offer healthcare facilities the flexibility to disseminate information and images in real time to mobile devices such as PDA and notebook computers, resulting in more effective use of imaging distribution and timely decisions for appropriate treatment plans. All of this will add up to a reduction in image and information distribution costs.

With IMPAX Mobile, patient data and data for clinical review is never transferred from the archive to a mobile device, keeping it secure.
"IMPAX Mobile will provide basic PACS and 3D functionality wherever the clinician happens to be," said Dave Wilson, Enterprise Solutions, Agfa HealthCare. "This will be especially critical to physicians who need quick clinical image access. IMPAX Mobile will allow clinicians to maintain patient-centric care, even when in a remote location and it will permit clinicians to view clinically relevant information at the point of care, helping patients to have all the information they need to make informed decisions."

IMPAX Mobile will employ a simple and intuitive interface making it very easy-to-use. IMPAX Mobile can be installed as an extension to existing PACS installations as well as an integral component of Agfa's recently launched, next generation IMPAX 6.0.

*Note: IMPAX Mobile is a works in progress and is not yet commercially available in the United States.
