THE HEXARAD RADIOLOGY PLATFORM
SOLVING THE KEY ISSUES FACING RADIOLOGY TODAY
RADIOLOGIST LED RADIOLOGY
The Hexarad Platform gives healthcare providers the building blocks to optimise their radiology resources, as well as connecting them to a network of radiologists to get their scans reported quickly and accurately.OUR STORY
Hexarad was founded by four doctors, training to be radiologists, who wanted to solve an ongoing and worsening problem in radiology - too many scans and not enough radiologists. Our passion for getting the best possible results, coupled with innovative thinking, makes us a solution-focused company.
Even though the founding team think in different ways, what brought us together were our shared values and the vision that things could be better. We believe the whole is greater than the sum of its parts and that we will have the greatest impact by working together.
The radiology sector is severely over-stretched and under-resourced. By working together to help bridge the gaps we know we can make a difference. Our goal is to create a community where every person feels valued and where a collaborative relationship with our customers results in improved patient care.
