Access to quality radiology is still a dream for much of LATAM.
It is estimated that conditions whose diagnosis is based on imaging studies, such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases, are responsible for about 82% of deaths in Latin America and the Caribbean. In Mexico alone, there are 30 radiologists and three magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) units per million inhabitants. Across the continent, medical systems have become increasingly expensive, saturated and limited in their capacity to care.
Radiology is considered by many to be the medicine of the future because of its continuous technological advances. But if basic care is out of reach of the general population in the developing world, this evolution will be in vain. To truly bring the future to everyone, it is necessary to transform the medical system and restructure the way in which technology is chosen, adopted and deployed according to the region's unique needs.
Medicine at the service of the patient
In a saturated system, patients are no longer at the center of healthcare. Many have to wait months for radiological exams, incur a heavy cost of transportation to health facilities, and often receive late, erroneous, or incomplete diagnoses.
To respond to these problems, it is necessary to adopt technologies aimed at reducing the administrative burden and elevating the patient experience. In the case of Eden Management, the platform is designed to centralize operations with minimal infrastructure, allowing it to be implemented in any corner of the continent. This, together with the digital submission of results via WhatsApp, is a solution that simplifies the patient's experience in the flow of the health system and streamlines the diagnostic process for timely medical care.
The tools at the service of the doctor
A central element to the adoption of new technologies is the radiologist's experience. In LATAM, radiologists are overworked and many lack the necessary equipment to do it properly. Therefore, technologies that are expensive, complex or with high infrastructure requirements would be an obstacle rather than a productivity tool.
As a result, Eden PACS was created to be understandable, lightweight and accessible from any device. These strategies make it possible to circumvent infrastructure problems to provide the physician with intuitive diagnostic tools. In addition, with the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in the form of Eden Creator, it is possible to reduce the workload and take the first step towards the automation of repetitive processes.
Technology at the service of all
The vast majority of advanced radiological technology providers are large international companies whose products are not adapted to the needs of the developing world. The giants of the medical industry see only what is in their sights.
That's why Eden was born: to cover the blind spots of the medical system in LATAM from the inside. By forming a close relationship with our partner institutions, we can respond directly to the experiences of doctors and patients across the region. It is only through this continuous evolution, adaptability and closeness to the realities of the continent that it will be possible to bring extraordinary radiology to everyone.
