Integrations
Connect once with open standards. No proprietary connectors, no surprise rework when systems upgrade.
Device-agnostic imaging capture. EHR integration for patient context. Downstream export for referrals and patient access. Built on DICOM, HL7, and FHIR — not custom connectors that break on upgrades.
Imaging device connectivity
Any DICOM-compliant device works on day one.
CurateMD accepts images from any DICOM-compliant device via standard C-STORE. OCT systems, fundus cameras, slit lamp cameras, anterior segment imaging — if it speaks DICOM, CurateMD ingests it.
Manufacturer-specific workarounds are documented and supported. If a device defaults to a proprietary format, we help configure DICOM export mode.
EHR and practice management
Bi-directional data exchange keeps every system in sync.
Patient demographics and orders flow in via HL7 or FHIR. Study results and reports flow back. No manual data entry between systems.
Downstream export
Studies need to reach referring physicians, patients, and research systems.
Send studies directly to referring physicians, specialist readers, or archive systems. Original resolution, no recompression.
Structured clinical reports with embedded images, measurements, and provider signatures. Shareable without a PACS viewer.
Push images and results to patient-facing apps and portals using FHIR R4 endpoints — no additional integrations needed.
Routed to CurateLabel for annotation. PHI scrubbed before transfer. Meets HIPAA Safe Harbor for research use.
Technical requirements
Minimal IT footprint. No proprietary hardware.
Standard outbound connectivity only. No inbound firewall rules or VPNs required for cloud deployment.
For EHR integration. Scoped to the minimum permissions required for ADT/ORM/ORU message exchange.
Add CurateMD as a DICOM destination on each imaging device. Typically 10-15 minutes per device.
Typical initial setup effort. We provide step-by-step runbooks and are available on a call during cutover.

Frequently asked questions
If your EHR supports HL7 or FHIR, we can integrate. We have documented integrations with major ophthalmic EHR vendors. Contact us to confirm your specific system.
Many devices have DICOM modes even if they default to proprietary. We can help configure DICOM export. For truly proprietary-only devices, we evaluate case by case.
Basic DICOM device integration typically takes 1–2 hours of IT time. EHR integration depends on your EHR vendor's process — usually 1–2 weeks elapsed time.
