Data security is significantly increased

The traditional data transfer cycle requires manual and time-consuming quality-control steps to ensure correctness and completeness of the transferred data.

SOFT Instrument Link automates this review step through verification of digital signatures. The goal is to reduce the number of quality control steps and still meet the need of health authorities data integrity expectations.

Widely adopted technology and vendor neutrality

• The technology is open to all vendors to use and is intended as a generic solution.
• No bespoke interfaces are required, reducing implementation and validation cost.
• If anyone tampers with the worklist or result file, the change can be detected and recorded.
• SOFT Instrument Link builds on existing standards, allowing for quick implementation using existing tools

Near-zero impact on the current user experience

The changes are all designed to work ‘under the hood’ and will have a low impact on current user workflows/standard operating procedures.

When implemented properly, data security is managed by the software and is not exposed to the user.
