Deployment Options
Hardware-Based (SaveLifeAIOS)
A physical appliance installed on-premise at the hospital. Connects directly to scanner consoles and hospital DICOM servers. Imaging modalities (X-Ray, CT, MRI, Mammogram, Ultrasound) send data from scanner console to workstation to the hospital DICOM server. SaveLifeAIOS bridges to SaveLife.AI Cloud, web viewer, reporting portal, and mobile application.
Software-Based (Cloud-Native)
Cloud-native PACS/DICOM solution, no on-site hardware required. Connects to existing PACS infrastructure via software gateway. Routes data to EdgeAI (on-premise AI processing) and/or CloudAI (cloud-based AI processing).
Hybrid
On-premise de-identification with cloud processing. Combines the security of on-premise PHI handling with the scalability of cloud AI.
Measurable ROI
