AuraPACS stores, displays and shares imaging for Coimbatore diagnostic centres, imaging units and hospitals. The on-premise node is placed and your modalities connected on site by travel from Chennai, and everything after that is remote and on WhatsApp.
AuraPACS is built in Chennai, and Coimbatore is within travelling distance, so the part of a PACS rollout that genuinely benefits from someone standing next to the machine is done that way. Placing the on-premise node on your network, pointing each modality at it over DICOM, watching the first study arrive from the scanner and setting up the worklist so the technician stops retyping the patient name are all on-site work.
After the install the centre runs on its own node. Viewing, reporting, WhatsApp sharing and billing carry on without anybody visiting, and support is remote and on WhatsApp. There is no Coimbatore office and no local engineer. The person who installs it is the person who built it.
Coimbatore carries CT and MRI units running through the day, ultrasound and digital radiography in smaller centres, and referrers spread across the western districts and into Kerala.
Two things follow from that. The first is reading cover: many centres are read by a radiologist who is not always in the building, who may cover more than one centre, and who needs to open a study from wherever he is without installing anything. The second is the report's journey. The referring doctor who sent the patient may be in Tiruppur, Erode, Pollachi or across the border in Palakkad, and he is not going to log into a portal to read a chest film. He will open a link on his phone or he will ring the centre and ask someone to read it out.
A cloud-only PACS stops the moment the uplink does, and in a working day that is not a rare event. The AuraPACS node sits on your network, so receiving, viewing and reporting continue through an outage and the cloud layer catches up once the connection returns. That is the whole argument for the hybrid arrangement, and it is explained fully on hybrid PACS.
Support is remote: WhatsApp, a call, a screen share when something needs looking at directly. Studies sit on your hardware with an encrypted offsite copy, so nothing about the archive depends on a visit. A return trip is arranged if a new modality is added or the centre moves, and that is scoped when it comes up.
Workflow: He opens the worklist in a browser from wherever he is that afternoon, reads the study and finalises the report on his own login.
Result: Turnaround does not depend on which building he is in.
Workflow: The centre sends a secure link; the doctor in Palakkad opens the images and the signed PDF on his phone without an account.
Result: The referral loop closes the same evening.
Workflow: The scanner keeps sending to the node, the technician keeps working, the radiologist in the building keeps reading, and the cloud layer catches up afterwards.
Result: The list is not held up by the connection.
Workflow: Studies land on the node from the machine, patients get a link instead of a disc, and old studies are searchable by patient.
Result: Comparisons stop depending on what the patient remembered to bring.
Yes. The node install, the modality connections and the staff walkthrough are done on site by travel from Chennai. There is no Coimbatore office and no local engineer, and support after the install is remote and on WhatsApp.
A machine on the same network as the modalities for the node to run on, a fixed address for it, and somebody who knows the settings on each scanner or can reach the service engineer who does. Anything unclear is worked out on a call beforehand.
Yes. The node is on your premises, so receiving, viewing and reporting continue during an outage and the cloud layer syncs afterwards. Uninterrupted power for the node and the scanner is the centre's own arrangement.
Yes. Remote reading runs in the browser on his own login, with access restricted by role and every view audited. See remote reading.
As a secure link per study that opens the images and the signed PDF with no login for the doctor or the patient, sent from the centre's system rather than from a staff member's personal phone. See WhatsApp report sharing.
Yes. The live demo runs in a browser, and a 200 KB Windows demo installer runs against the demo server with sample studies. Activation by Site ID over WhatsApp moves the full system onto your own network.
