TrueVault launches HIPAA compliant file storage for healthcare apps

MOUNTAIN VIEW, USA: Healthcare application solution provider, TrueVault has announced the availability of image32, a healthcare application which can store any binary data object in TrueVault.

The TrueVault BLOB (binary large object) Store offers HIPAA compliant binary storage for any file format. This includes DICOM files (e.g. X-Rays, CT Scans, MRIs), PDFs, scanned medical records, images, and videos, said a company release.

"There is no limit to the number of files you can upload," said TrueVault Founder and CEO Jason Wang. "Any binary file can be uploaded, updated, deleted, and downloaded via our REST API. Healthcare applications can now store and exchange medical images, videos, and large files with ease. There are numerous use cases for this kind of HIPAA compliant file storage, the possibilities are endless."

The company claims that image32 is an early adopter and sees the value in the TrueVault BLOB Store.

Millions of X-Rays, CT Scans, MRIs, and other medical imaging studies are created every day. But, complicated rules and incompatible software has prevented doctors and patients from easily sharing these images. image32 solves this problem and liberates these medical images, it said.

With image32 it is easy to securely share medical imaging studies on any device, anywhere. There are 3.9 million medical images currently hosted on image32, and all of the images that include PHI can be stored in a HIPAA compliant manner using the TrueVault BLOB Store, the release added.
