Avandra Health, a federated network for medical imaging and clinical data, announced on Sunday that it has acquired healthcare technology company DatCard Systems and medical equipment manufacturer Sorna Corporation.

With these acquisitions, Avandra aims to build a leading medical imaging platform providing imaging data to improve patient care across clinical and research applications.

The two additions combine the complementary capabilities of clinical data sharing between providers (DatCard and Sorna), with Avandra's de-identified patient data aggregation platform to fuel medical research, AI development, and clinical innovation.

DatCard Systems and Sorna Corporation will continue to operate as independent companies under the Avandra brand umbrella.

Ryan Tarzy, Avandra Health CEO, said: "By bringing together DatCard, Sorna, and Avandra, we're creating the industry's first comprehensive medical imaging platform that serves both immediate patient care needs and long-term research innovation. This combination enables us to unlock the full potential of medical imaging to transform healthcare delivery and accelerate life-saving research, while continuously improving the tools and support that clinicians depend on daily. Our customers can be confident that the products and services from DatCard and Sorna that they rely on every day will continue without interruption -- delivered by the same teams, and with the same commitment to outstanding service."
