Ultrasound Services Provider Uses Mangomind Internet File Sharing Service to Improve Patient Care

Mangomind enables secure collaboration on patient ultrasound images between radiologists and consulting physicians for faster diagnoses

Westborough, MA - August 16, 2001: Mangosoft Inc. (OTC: BB: MGOF), a developer of Internet enabling software solutions, announced today that Sound Choices LLC, of Houston, Texas, a regional provider of ultrasound services, uses Mangosoft's Mangomind Internet File Sharing Service to enable secure collaboration on ultrasound images between obstetricians, radiologists, and consulting physicians. By facilitating collaboration between doctors, Sound Choices has reduced the time it takes obstetricians to deliver diagnoses to patients from days to hours.

Sound Choices Medical Director, Randall A. Stenoien M.D., designed an automated process to capture images electronically and use Mangomind for collaboration and record keeping. Dr. Stenoien has improved the multi-stage process - which consists of ultrasound imaging, transporting images to a central printer, transporting films to radiologists, dictating, reviewing and signing reports, and transmitting reports to referring physicians - to take as little as 90 minutes. Prior to using Mangomind, the same process could take up to 5 days to complete.

"We were looking for a cost-effective method to improve the way we deliver our services," said Dr. Stenoien. "Our participating radiologists and doctors are very pleased with the Mangomind-based solution to help speed the turnaround on medical diagnoses and improve record keeping for medical information. It dramatically streamlines the entire process, and allows our referring physicians to provide better care for their patients."

Dr Stenoien also uses Mangomind to post MPEG videos of ultrasounds to provide nearly real-time evaluation from remote interpreting radiologists. The video enables rapid feedback to the scanning technologist requesting additional views, as well as improves diagnostic capabilities when characterizing abnormalities (for example, a fetal cardiac anomaly). This process can also prevent the need for patients to return for additional imaging.

"Using our Mangomind Internet File Sharing Service as a means for secure, real-time medical collaboration is groundbreaking," said Dale Vincent, president and chief executive officer of Mangosoft. "We are very pleased that Dr. Stenoien has used Mangomind as the cornerstone of his novel Internet-based solution to improve patient care. The potential for similar applications of Mangomind in the medical field is enormous."

The Mangomind Internet File Sharing Service provides remote file access, secure real-time file sharing, secure online file storage, and offline access to documents. Dr. Stenoien has installed PCs configured with Mangomind and a video capture system to directly transfer an ultrasound image to the PC at each obstetrician's site. Once the ultrasound images are captured, they are saved on the Mangomind Drive. The radiologist can quickly access the images from the Mangomind Drive, review, contact the obstetrician with his interpretation, and post a written report on the Mangomind Drive. If a second opinion is required, that physician also can access the Mangomind Drive to review the files online and speed their evaluation and comments. A secure messaging feature allows doctors to send an alert to participating doctors when new images are posted on the Mangomind Drive.

Mangomind provides the security required for transmission and storage of confidential information. Mangomind provides state-of-the-art 128-bit encryption on the file during transmission as well as while stored on the Mangomind server. Mangomind also provides user authentication plus Windows NT-type permissions and access restrictions on files and folders. Dr. Stenoien places access permissions on the PCs housing the Mangomind Drive in order to prevent unauthorized access to the PC and to provide an additional level of security. Additionally, software firewalls prevent unauthorized access via the web.

"We believe there is great potential for the Mangomind service to be used by physicians in remote locations around the globe to share medical data. Mangomind's PC-to-server encryption and security meet our medical requirements for patient confidentiality," said Dr. Stenoien.

Sound Choices technicians and participating radiologists and physicians also use Mangomind to post reports and to centralize a complete record trail for each patient. For archival purposes, all supporting patient records and images are temporarily saved centrally in a secure folder on the Mangomind Drive, simplifying retrieval and patient record audits. Mangomind also provides backup and retrieval services as well, to ensure records are never lost.

"Because Mangomind is Windows-based, technicians can easily write their reports and documentation in the typical Microsoft Office applications with which they are already familiar. Our participants find it to be fast, and very easy to use, and we didn't require extensive training to get up and running," Dr. Stenoien continued.
