In research and development

A node small enough to go with the X-ray.

The OxRad On-Site Node in a portable form, drafting X-ray reports inside the unit itself. No internet. No network. No dependency on a link that may not be there.

Research and development

This configuration is in research and development. The core OxRad platform is built and in active testing. No field unit is deployed, and we make no clinical performance claims. We are looking for operational partners to shape it.

Built for denied and degraded communications

Remote, disconnected, congested, intermittent or deliberately denied communications. The unit assumes no connection at all. Everything it needs, it carries: the imaging store, the reporting intelligence, the audit record and the clinician's reading screen. When a link exists, it is used. When it does not, nothing stops.

What the unit is

A sealed, portable compute unit that travels with the X-ray equipment.

Runs from vehicle, generator or battery power.

Serves the reading screen over its own local network, with no external connectivity required.

Holds the imaging store, the drafting intelligence and the OxChain audit record inside the case.

What it does in the first hour

  1. 01

    Capture

    The film is captured straight into the unit.

  2. 02

    Urgency

    The medic marks urgency. The queue follows that mark.

  3. 03

    Preliminary

    The unit drafts a clearly labelled preliminary in seconds.

  4. 04

    Clinical decision

    The clinician reads the film with the preliminary alongside, and treats on their own judgement.

  5. 05

    Recorded

    Everything is recorded, including the fact there was no link.

  6. 06

    Sent when possible

    When connectivity returns, the queue goes to the operator's own reporting hub.

  7. 07

    Signed

    A radiologist reviews and signs. If the signed report differs materially from the preliminary, an alert goes back to the treating team.

The rules that do not relax in the field

  • The clinician decides. The unit produces a preliminary, never a report and never a diagnosis.
  • Urgency is set by the medic. The unit never ranks casualties or patients.
  • Nothing leaves the unit until the operator sends it.
  • Every step is recorded by OxChain, and the offline gap is recorded too.
  • Model updates are controlled, validated and versioned through OxRad Protocol. The unit never changes its own behaviour in the field.

Where it would be used

Defence medical teams

Medical teams operating where communications cannot be assumed.

Ambulance and major incident response

Pre-hospital and major incident settings where imaging happens away from the department.

Disaster and humanitarian deployment

Temporary clinics and mobile units set up where infrastructure is absent.

Remote and maritime clinics

Islands, vessels and remote sites where a link is intermittent at best.

The same sealed unit on an open tailgate at night, drawing power from the vehicle, its status light the only bright point.
An empty reading room, its displays stacking a queue of studies arriving once the link returns.
