Medical image exchange platform vendor lifeIMAGE has inked a 10-year deal with clinical image viewer maker Client Outlook to make Client Outlook’s visualization platform a core component of the lifeIMAGE offering.
Client Outlook’s FDA Class II diagnostic and clinical imaging viewing solution eUnity will become the default viewer across all apps and services on the lifeIMAGE enterprise image exchange platform, which links to providers and patients.

Client Outlook will be at lifeIMAGE booth 968 at HIMSS16 demonstrating eUnity on lifeIMAGE workstations. The lifeIMAGE technology is a hybrid local network sharing system with a cloud component to share studies outside of a provider network. Client Outlook is a universal viewer for video and still imaging in cardiology, radiology, oncology, pediatrics, emergency medicine, burn care, dermatology and other fields.
“We wanted our customers to have assured availability to viewing technology of today backed by an organization sharing the same commitment we’ve shown to future innovation and interoperability,” said Matthew A. Michela, CEO and president of lifeIMAGE.
Client Outlook and lifeIMAGE will collaborate to ensure the interoperability of image data across their services. Client Outlook will introduce a workflow that enables the fast transmission of studies and clinical information displayed on its viewer through the lifeIMAGE network, and lifeIMAGE is now the only major image exchange provider offering enterprise access to the eUnity universal viewer.
“In partnership with lifeIMAGE we see the clear opportunity to significantly improve image data interoperability while improving physician workflow and clinical outcomes,” said Steve Rankin, president and CEO of Client Outlook.
