Change Healthcare plans to scale up its medical imaging platform with the acquisition. The transaction will enable the company to accelerate the roll-out of a fully cloud-based, end-to-end Enterprise Imaging Network (EIN) platform.
The foundations of the platform such as Archive and Analytics applications have been launched as a cloud-native solution in the market.
By combining the technology and resources of the acquired company, the platform will enable physicians to read, diagnose and collaborate from anywhere in the world while reducing IT complexities and using data and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve outcomes.
Furthermore, Nucleus.io acquisition is expected to expand Change Healthcare’s addressable market with the addition of over 7,500 companies that it has been serving.
