The Samsung ARTIK platform combines hardware, software, cloud, security and a partner ecosystem in a single offering. The Philips HealthSuite Digital Platform provides developers with services, capabilities and tools that can help them create next-generation health care innovations.
Earlier, in late 2017, Samsung showed its focus on scanning when it released its next-generation
OmniTom mobile CT.
“The OmniTom takes many of the key capabilities of CereTom and packages it in a modern solution,” Philip Sullivan, president and CEO of Samsung Neurologica, told HCB News at the time. “You truly get fixed CT imaging with a portable package.”
The OmniTom, which scored FDA clearance in August, is a 16-slice scanner – a step up from the 8-slice CereTom. It also features a new drive system with omni-directional wheels that allow for a higher degree of mobility.
“The key thing about mobile CT is that you want to bring the imaging to the patient,” said Sullivan. “The CereTom was good at that, but the OmniTom is even better because you can get into those tight ICU rooms.”
