Synapse is a cloud-based application that was designed to perform on an iPad or via web browser. It is an evolution of previous INSiGHT scanning systems as it accesses the power of using an iPad and offers offline scanning at screening events. Intuitive reporting, based on the patient’s own scan data are generated with over 20 different combinations including the ground-breaking Children’s CORESCORE which compliments the Adult CORESCORE. Synapse will work with or without an internet connection. Patient data resides in a database on our cloud server and on the INSiGHT Bridge, an engineered micro- computer designed specifically for INSiGHT scanning.
