About VisualShare
VisualShare provides software solutions for image sharing and collaboration. VisualShare builds applications for organizations that need to share images, conduct reviews and document results. One of VisualShare's initial markets is Tele-health applications that serve geographically distant communities. The company products establish a framework to support image-centric collaboration and sharing. The framework stores all collected information in a single record that can be re-used for many stakeholder requirements, such as internal or external reviews, quality assurance/quality control, audit, and evidentiary logging purposes.
VisualShare is a privately held company, based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company has exclusively licensed from the University of Utah, the founders' patent (pending) of the conceptual framework that forms the underlying IP. Under the license, the company retains all rights to the technology derivatives developed by VisualShare.
