Brisbane, Australia Oct 2022 Zed Technologies (Zed), a market-leading innovator in medical image and report sharing, has integrated Foxo’s white-labelled Guest Chat module into its browser-based diagnostic viewer to deliver a highly innovative path of direct communication to Radiology service providers, greatly improving the clinical referral experience.
With Foxo’s Guest Chat now deployed, Zed’s zero-footprint DICOM viewer provides seamless communication between primary care specialists and diagnostic imaging providers. The ‘no-install’ solution enables primary care physicians or administrators to engage directly with a diagnostic imaging provider’s administrative team for escalation and triaging of clerical or clinical queries.
