Enlitic, a healthcare company, has acquired LAITEK, a medical imaging solutions provider, in a deal that combines the former’s AI capabilities in data standardisation with the latter’s experience in medical imaging data migration.

With this acquisition, Enlitic is positioned to offer increased product value by improving new and archived data.

Meanwhile, Enlitic has secured A$22.5m through an equity raise, with the funds allocated for the acquisition and ongoing operations.

Enlitic CEO Michael Sistenich said: “LAITEK’s integration aligns perfectly with our mission to enhance clinical workflows and efficiencies. Their innovative migration approach will significantly boost our capabilities and drive customer satisfaction. This milestone marks a significant point in Enlitic’s journey of strategic growth.”

The integration of these two entities is claimed to transform the way healthcare organisations handle and leverage patient imaging data.

LAITEK president Fred Behlen said: “Joining Enlitic creates an exciting opportunity to deliver unparalleled value to healthcare providers, addressing data fragmentation and interoperability challenges.”

The combined company will offer advanced data migration services with superior data quality outputs, broaden DICOM standards knowledge and expedite the development of AI-powered data tools.

Enlitic gains access to a wealth of technological resources and decades of archived data, which is expected to fast-track the application of its technology across various use cases.

LAITEK will benefit from the ability to provide enhanced data quality in its migration services, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and consistent study and series descriptions.

Enlitic will continue to support LAITEK's current clientele while seamlessly integrating technologies and teams.
