Zeiss has acquired Veracity Innovations.
Veracity, which was recently launched at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) in May 2017, is a platform for cataract surgical planning, management and analysis that allows surgeons and their clinical teams to easily and consistently achieve the excellent outcomes their patients expect. Veracity interfaces with many Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and diagnostic devices to present the most relevant and critical data that is needed at each step – from the first initial patient consultation through the entire planning, scheduling, procedural and post-operative process. This helps doctors to streamline the clinical process, enhance productivity and efficiency, and reduce potential human error while developing a customized solution for each and every patient.
“ZEISS already provides advanced digital solutions that support doctors in their clinical decisions and provide for efficient data management. Our ZEISS FORUM system with its Clinical Workplaces connects the diagnostic devices within a practice, then integrates and delivers this information from multiple modalities at the point of care – in the office and in the OR,” says Jim Mazzo, Global President Ophthalmic Devices at Carl Zeiss Meditec. “Now we are complementing this with the Veracity platform – a simple, cloud-based solution that provides doctors, and their teams, exactly the information they need at each step in the clinical process so they can work more efficiently, mitigate risks, and achieve the very best possible outcomes for their patients," said Mr Mazzo.
