Raster Images: Deploying Cost Effective Solutions that Adhere to International Standards
Leading researchers have predicted the Healthcare industry in the nation to grow at a competent rate, making this segment a promising market with ample business opportunities. Significantly low doctor-patient ratio in India will be a major catalyst in this growth story.While the industry still struggles to draw attention towards faster and accurate identification of diseases and quality of patient care, the present day tech savvy patients are now demanding more from Healthcare service providers. Thankfully, the advent of AI based analytics and cutting edge data collection and storage solutions have significantly bridged this gap.
Initially incepted as an in-house Information Technology division of SKS Hospital, Tamil Nadu based Raster Images started its operations in 1998. Today, standing tall as an independent healthcare IT solution provider the firm has come a long way from catering to the internal needs of one hospital, to delivering solutions implemented in leading healthcare institutes such as AIIMS, New Delhi; Adyar Cancer Institute, Chennai; Vydehi Hospital and Medical College,Bangalore along with a number of international implementations in USA, South East Asia, South Africa and Australia.
