What is Medicai?

Medicai is an image analysis tool. Medicai provides cloud PACS, a DICOM gateway, DICOM viewers, patient and doctor portals plus a REST API, letting healthcare providers and health tech developers store, retrieve, view and share medical imaging across locations under HIPAA and GDPR.

Medicai is a cloud-native medical imaging platform that bundles the infrastructure a radiology operation needs into one subscription: a multi-location PACS, a DICOM gateway for pulling studies out of local machines and partner systems, a browser based DICOM viewer, patient and doctor portals, and a RESTful imaging API. The home page positions it as imaging infrastructure as a service, aimed at hospitals, imaging centers, digital health developers and any provider who wants scans to travel between sites without VPNs or deep DICOM expertise. In practice the product is layered. A lightweight DICOM Gateway is installed at each location or partner site and starts forwarding studies automatically, so on-prem systems and third-party PACS feed the same cloud archive. From there, studies land in Medicai's cloud PACS, where storage scales with volume and access is controlled at the level of individual studies through granular access control lists. Doctors open the web viewer or the mobile app to read, annotate and collaborate, with reporting templates and an AI copilot on the doctor portal side. Patients receive their images and reports through a dedicated portal rather than on discs. For teams with engineering capacity, the API and embeddable viewer put the same imaging functions inside an existing EHR, EMR or patient app. Compliance is central to the pitch: HIPAA and GDPR alignment is stated explicitly, alongside OWASP security practices, and FDA/CEE cleared viewers are offered as an option. The commercial model is usage based, with fees scaling by the number of studies stored and managed, which suits groups whose volume varies by site and season. Compared with legacy on-premise PACS vendors, the appeal is speed of deployment and multi-enterprise data flow rather than a single-site archive; compared with pure viewer tools, Medicai brings storage, retrieval and APIs into the same contract.

How do you use Medicai?

  1. 1Request the free trial or book a demo
    Start from the trial request page to get an account, or book a demo if you want a guided walkthrough of the cloud PACS and viewer first.
  2. 2Install the DICOM Gateway at a site
    Deploy the Medicai DICOM Gateway on the local network so studies from your PACS or modalities are forwarded to the cloud automatically. Installation is described as taking minutes.
  3. 3Confirm studies land in the cloud PACS
    Once the gateway is connected, check that exams are arriving in the cloud archive and map them to the right organization and locations. Storage and access rules are managed here.
  4. 4Read and share in the DICOM viewer
    Open incoming studies in the zero-footprint web viewer to review images, then share cases with colleagues or patients through the portals.
  5. 5Wire imaging into your own software
    If you build clinical software, use the Medicai API and embeddable viewer to surface imaging inside your EHR, EMR or patient app.
