(PRNewsfoto/Net Health Systems, Inc.) Kent Imaging of Calgary, Alberta Canada, an industry innovator in oxygen imaging and real-time decision making in wound care, is Net Health's first integrated imaging device partner under the company's new Application Programming Interface (API) initiative.
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Tissue Analytics, a Net Health company that provides software solutions for the wound care industry, announced today that the company has partnered with Calgary, Canada-based Kent Imaging, Inc. to be the first member of its new application programming interface (APIs) program.  The API was announced in December, with additional partners scheduled to join in the coming months.

Kent Imaging is a leading innovator in oxygenation imaging that develops, manufactures, and markets medical technology that supports real-time decision making in wound care, vascular and surgical subspecialties.  Tissue Analytics is the market leader in wound imaging, providing artificial intelligence-powered software solutions that serve hospitals, post-acute facilities, and clinical trials.

The new agreement with Net Health enables Kent Imaging to expand the footprint and interoperability of their flagship product, SnapshotNIR®, which utilizes near-infrared light to determine tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), a key indicator of tissue health. Through the technology, clinicians are better able to plan appropriate interventions, reduce complications and improve outcomes.

"Our integration with Kent Imaging is the perfect example of the value of Net Health's API," said Kevin Keenahan, Senior Vice President of Business Development for Net Health and a founder of Tissue Analytics. "This agreement highlights how and why our API can benefit a wide range of industry innovators."

"Kent Imaging is excited to work with Net Health through the Tissue Analytics API to ensure that critical information on the state of a wound is incorporated into the patient record at every visit," said Pierre Lemire, CEO of Kent Imaging. "The integrated product streamlines workflow while providing documented tissue oxygenation data to complete the patient chart. By making our product interoperable with leading EMRs, we are ensuring that a wide range of clinicians and patients can access our innovative technology."

"Collaborating with Net Health, a leader in the wound care market, will support the accelerated adoption of the SnapshotNIR technology," says Marengere. "Clear unmet needs in wound care, such as non-healing wounds, are a huge burden with respect to patient outcomes and ever-rising healthcare costs. Delivering innovative solutions through partnership provides synergy in responding positively to this growing concern."
