Fast Track gains $15.6M in financing

San Mateo, CA-based Fast Track Systems plans to use the $15.6 million gained in its second round of financing to speed the deployment of its Intelligent Clinical Protocol-based information services, which aid in designing and managing human clinical trials to bring new pharmaceutical products to market faster. Fast Track’s site-sponsor network model delivered over the Internet integrates clinical trial processes and products into one system with the goal of reducing the time and cost of phase II and phase III trials.

Dicom’s imagExplorer transmits images via the Web

Dicom Imaging Systems’ imagExplorer software transmits electronic image attachments via the Internet to dental insurance companies and third-party payers (PNN 3/00). The Vancouver, BC-based firm developed this capability in a joint project with National Electronic Attachment (NEA) of Atlanta to tap into the electronic data interchange market in dentistry. imagExplorer includes NEA’s Fast Attach software, which allows images to be transmitted electronically to NEA’s repository, where they can be viewed. Dicom is in talks with several companies that run “electronic attachment clearinghouses” to increase the availability of its images.
