  • Nothing for IT to do
  • From CHF 99 a month
  • Hosted in Switzerland

Where a cloud PACS pays off most

Shaped around the way medical and dental practices actually work.

The problem

Why so many PACS solutions slow you down

Not because imaging itself is hard, but because everything around it eats into the day. It costs your team clicks, patience and often money, and it does so every day.

  • Importing by hand

    Studies from outside have to be downloaded, imported and filed under a patient.

  • The same search twice

    Images live apart from the practice software, so you look the patient up once there and once here.

  • Sharing the hard way

    It goes out on a CD, through a portal or as an email attachment, when a link would do.

  • What it costs to run

    Installation, updates, maintenance and hardware add up to a line in the budget that rarely shrinks.

The solution

How Unomed takes the work out of handling images

Images where the decision is made: there when you need them, clearly ordered, easy to pass on.

The PACS inbox above an open patient record: an incoming study with the patient's name, date of birth and report text, and next to it the button to assign it.

PACS inbox

Images from outside, with nothing to import or file.

Studies from radiology institutes or hospitals arrive straight in the PACS inbox. No portal, no link, no CD.

  1. The study shows up in the inbox the moment it arrives.
  2. Unomed suggests the patient it belongs to, even where the name is spelled differently or the record exists twice.
  3. You confirm with one click, or pick someone else.
How it works

Archive

Every image in one place, safely kept

  • Images and studies archived centrally, whether they came from inside or outside.
  • History and prior images on screen in seconds.
  • A clear order instead of scattered files and portal logins.

Assignment

Images filed under the right patient

  • Images appear in the patient record, not in a second program.
  • Open them from your practice software or straight in the browser.
  • No searching twice, nothing that has to be carried across by hand.

Sharing

Sharing made simple

  • Share securely with colleagues, referrers and patients.
  • Recipients reply in the case chat itself.
  • CDs, portals and email attachments are behind you.

How it fits together

One path, from the machine to the referrer.

Unomed sits between your image sources and everyone who needs the images afterwards. What happens in between, you set up once.

  1. Messenger it

    Your own modalities connect through the cloud connector, an existing PACS or RIS through the Radiology Bridge. Whoever made them, with no CD and without changing the systems you run.

  2. Store it

    Studies from inside and outside sit together in certified Swiss data centres. Storage grows with you, roles and permissions apply per person, and you can pull your archive back out as DICOM at any time.

  3. View it and pass it on

    The viewer runs in the browser with nothing installed. Images appear in the patient record instead of a second program, and sharing happens by link and case chat instead of by CD.

Image sources

  • Radiology institute Radiology Bridge
  • Hospital Radiology Bridge
  • Your own equipment Cloud connector
  • Unomed Cloud PACS Archive and VNA in Switzerland
  • Unomed Flows The workflows around the images
  • Unomed Medical API The functions, built into your own system

Ways in

  • Your practice software Images in the patient record
  • Viewer in the browser nothing to install
  • Referrers and patients Link and case chat

What you already run stays: the Radiology Bridge connects an existing PACS rather than replacing it.

Unomed works on top of the practice system you already use, with no integration to build. See the systems we support

Common questions about Unomed Cloud PACS

Why is Unomed's PACS cheaper than other solutions?

Because it is cloud software that grows with the practice, rather than a server you have to house and look after. The data sits encrypted in certified Swiss data centres, which takes most of the maintenance cost and IT work out of the picture.

How do I share DICOM studies with someone else?

You share them in the Unomed messenger, encrypted and without a second tool. Recipients do not need an account: anyone who is not registered gets a time-limited guest link by email, and anyone who is sees the study in the messenger.

How does patient matching work?

If the DICOM order started from the patient record, there is nothing to match, the assignment is already settled. In every other case Unomed suggests the patient it belongs to, even where the name is spelled differently or the record exists twice. Confirming it is your call.

Which devices can I connect to the PACS?

Any DICOM-capable modality, so ultrasound, X-ray or MRI. The Unomed cloud connector that comes with it handles the connection.

Can I bring my existing PACS data across?

Yes. Existing DICOM data or whole archives can be migrated. Our team helps with the connection.

Which DICOM viewers can I use?

The OHIF viewer from the Open Health Imaging Foundation as standard. We connect others when a customer asks for them.

Can I open images from my practice software?

Yes. Unomed opens the study in the built-in DICOM viewer, with no plugin and no separate program. It hooks in through a link or a button in your primary software.

Do I need extra hardware or plugins?

No. Using it takes neither special hardware nor plugins. To connect your equipment, our cloud connector is installed once in the practice network.

How secure is the PACS?

All data is transmitted encrypted and stored in certified Swiss data centres under the Swiss Data Protection Act. The built-in DICOM viewer is zero footprint: it runs in the browser and leaves nothing behind.

Is artificial intelligence used in the PACS?

Yes, when studies from outside are assigned. The AI suggests which study belongs to which patient; you confirm it. That saves time and cuts down on studies filed under the wrong name.

Can I try the PACS first?

Yes — the easiest way is a no-obligation demo; you see the PACS in the browser, with no installation. There is no free version of the PACS; every plan comes without an activation fee and is cancellable monthly. What is permanently free is Unomed Connect, the messenger for sharing studies.
