Mobile MIM Issued Medical Device License by Health Canada for Diagnostic Viewing
CLEVELAND, March 28, 2011 - MIM Software Inc., a leading global provider of medical imaging software, announced today that Mobile MIM(TM) is available on the Canadian App Store and has been issued a Medical Device License by Health Canada for remote diagnostic viewing of CT, PET, MRI, and SPECT images on the iPhone®, iPod touch®, and iPad®.
The Mobile MIM App is free to download and includes sample images to demonstrate its functionality. Physicians and other medical professionals can download images to the device using MIMcloud(TM) (www.mimcloud.com), an Internet-based service which allows secure upload and download of encrypted medical data. Alternatively, a MIM workstation can be used at a facility to transmit the images to Mobile MIM. Mobile MIM is indicated for use only when the physician does not have access to a workstation.
The Mobile MIM App is designed as a thick client, which means the data is downloaded to the device for viewing instead of being streamed to the device from a server. To secure the protected health information, Mobile MIM provides "at rest" encryption through the use of a passcode and 128-bit AES encryption from within the app. All transfers use SSL encryption.
Mobile MIM features data set interaction using standard tools, such as zoom, pan, window and level, and it displays volumetric data with multi-planar reconstruction. Mobile MIM allows the physician to measure distance and intensity values, annotate, and display regions of interest.
Mobile MIM is intended for use by medical professionals, not patients. The company plans to release a second app intended for patients, VueMe(TM).
The Mobile MIM App is available for free from the U.S. App Store on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, or at http://www.iTunes.com/AppStore.
