Pixeon is leading healthcare IT innovation in Latin America by making the transition to digital technology possible. Most Latin American hospitals and clinics still print medical imaging information on expensive medical films. With the adoption of Pixeon's PACS, hospitals and clinics can significantly reduce the usage of medical films, amounting to substantial cost savings and better diagnostics. Pixeon offers this technology as a Software as a Service (SaaS), allowing customers pay for the product according to usage.
"The main benefits of Pixeon's products are the reduced conventional medical film costs and improved diagnostic quality, providing doctors with an efficient and more accurate tool to carry out procedures," said Fernando Peixoto, CEO and
shareholder at Pixeon. "The technology allows up to an 80 percent reduction in the need to print on special film, speeding up workflow and the distribution of medical images in a healthcare establishment."
"Pixeon's technology provides the over 7,500 hospitals and 7,000 diagnostic clinics in Brazil the ability to adopt innovative digital imaging solutions," said David Thomas, Managing Director, Intel Capital Latin America. "The adoption of advanced image processing technologies will help the healthcare industry to invest more in IT infrastructure, thereby speeding up internal processes and ensuring better quality in healthcare service and diagnostics."
Pixeon has been in the Brazilian healthcare technology market for more than eight years and earlier this year entered Argentina. With this new round of investment, Pixeon aims to expand its business, which will entail doubling business development employee headcount while also managing current contracts. Claudia Goulart, former CEO of GE Healthcare in Latin America, will join Pixeon's board as an independent member. Major shareholders in the company, including Fernando Peixoto and Iomani Engelmann, will fill other positions. Pixeon's new business development focus will include technologies in new generation of PACS Aurora and 3D viewing technologies.
Dave Thomas is a Managing Director with Intel Capital and is responsible for all of Intel Capital's investment activities in Latin America. Dave's team includes investment professionals Ricardo Arantes, Fabio dePaula and Alexandre Villela, all of
