Task Tracker

Our client’s Evergreen Information Protection (IP) process, managed through Microsoft Outlook Tasks, was underperforming due to poor compliance. Task execution, completion and final reporting were falling through the cracks. We designed an easy to use Web-based application to centralize all tasks, employee information and reporting functions on a secure IP Task Tracker website, complete with automatic notifications and follow-up.

High-Resolution Digital Image Sharing Application™

Aptia Systems' High-Resolution Digital Image Sharing Application™ with Microsoft Silverlight technology allows viewers to instantly view and analyze giga-pixel microscopy slide images over a standard Internet connection on Windows™, Linux or Mac™ platforms.

But there's more. A zero-latency interface also allows the user to duplicate standard microscope imaging tools

Adjust brightness and contrast
Zoom smoothly from 5x to 100x using the scroll mouse or keyboard short cuts
Quickly scan slide at low power and bookmark regions of interest for later viewing at higher magnification
View and analyze high-resolution images clearly at high magnification
Take precise measurements

The Challenge

High-resolution digital files of microscopic images can easily run into the multi-gigabyte range - very big files. With typical Internet speeds of 8Mbit (high) to 50Mbit (ultra-high), these files can take 30 minutes to an hour to download. Opening the downloaded image for viewing consumes massive amounts of RAM using multiple processor cycles and can quickly overload even the most robust system.

The Solution

DigitalScope™, Aptia Systems' High-Resolution Digital Image Sharing Application™. One aspect of proficiency is determined by tests that include the laboratory's analysis of specific digital microscopic images. To make this process faster, easier and more reliable, Aptia Systems developed DigitalScope™ a system that uses its High-Resolution Digital Image Sharing Application™ to process and transmit digital microscopic images via a standard Internet connection for instant viewing and analysis by the laboratory.

DigitalScope is a suite of products including both a browser-based slide manager/editor and Silverlight slide viewer and iDigitalScope for the Apple iPad and iPhone.

iDigitalScope™ for the Apple® iPad™ and iPhone™

DigitalScope now works on the iPhone and iPad. With iDigitalScope you can easily view slide groups, selecting and viewing large giga-pixel slides over the Internet, smoothly zooming in and out with simple gestures.

We haven't released iDigitalScope just yet. Please give us a call or drop a line if you would like more information.
