Executive Summary

Traditional medical imaging systems were designed for departmental use, not enterprise-wide or cross-organisational sharing. As healthcare becomes increasingly connected, these legacy systems create bottlenecks that impede clinical workflows, frustrate patients, and increase costs.

Aurabox represents the next generation of imaging interoperability—a cloud-native platform built from the ground up for seamless connectivity, patient engagement, and clinical collaboration across organisational boundaries.

Current State: Legacy Limitations

Traditional PACS Architecture

Designed for single-department use
Complex VPN requirements for external access
Limited patient engagement capabilities
Proprietary vendor protocols
High infrastructure costs

Interoperability Challenges

Point-to-point integrations don't scale
Incompatible systems between vendors
Manual processes for external sharing
No unified patient view
Security and compliance complexities
