Curves and diagrams

As well established the measurement procedure in the meantime became, as complicated and complex however so far the analysis of these measurements for the neurologists is. Parallel running lines, curves and for the layman hardly visible diagrams must be analyzed by experts before the results can be transferred into meaningful logs and diagnostic statements.

eemagine Medical Imaging Solutions GmbH was established in April 1999 with the target to develop user friendly software that makes the analysis of EEGs not only simpler, but prepares the data also in various ways for further processing and communication. After a long run of conceptual work and months-long programming, the software is now ready for the application and already runs in several hospitals.

Principal item: visualization

As already hinted by the firm name, eemagine is primarily concerned with a descriptive visualization of EEGs. Where so far only curves represented the results of measurements, the eemagine EEG software solution can generate representations, which figure the involved brain regions through sophisticated computational algorithms. But there is more to it. Different results, like a preceding computer tomography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can be included with it. Analyses from many different areas are united in such a way on one central platform. A further addition is the possibility to use the parallel video recording. Particularly for a lengthy observation, the video helps enormously. Afterwards a continuous recording, the behavior of the patient and results of measurements can be studied in direct connection.

Virtual patient document

While in many industries processes and documents are transmitted and administered over computer networks or by email, often still the good old patient document prevails in hospitals. The software of eemagine can help also here. Owing to a well prepared data management, for example, the results of the EEGs are added to the patient document, and other hospitals and physicians involved can be informed immediately by email.

When creating software for medical analysis, beside programming also expertise is needed. Dr. Frank Zanow, one of the two founders of eemagine, had the correct background as brain researcher and a physicist and knows the requirement of the physicians in all details.

Professional sales

In order to organize after time and cost-intensive development phase the sales of the software professionally, eemagine markets via its Netherlands holding company and further selling partners its programs in the meantime world-wide. emphasis is laid on Germany, Scandinavia and the USA. Interest there is large, since the program was for the first time presented on a congress in San Diego. Not surprisingly, since the software may help to lower the costs in the health service. In Germany, the sales perspective is excellent. Potential customers in this country are up to 500 hospitals and practices, all of them recording and analyzing EEG.

The technology-friendly infrastructure in Berlin Adlershof provides substantial support to companies like eemagine. Computer science students from Berlin Adlershof helped with programming; via the French-German office practical courses for foreign students could be organized.
