C-RAD and the US based company XECAN signed a partnership agreement to develop new products to advance patient positioning and resource management within radiation therapy.
The development work will start immediately with a team from both companies and will be done in several phases. A first version of the product is expected to be presented in the second quarter 2019. The XECAN technology will be fully integrated in C-RAD’s c4D software platform. C-RAD and XECAN also signed a distribution agreement that grants C-RAD the sales rights of the product in major markets. C-RAD is targeting new customers but will also provide a seamless upgrade path for customers that are already equipped with C-RAD technology.
XECAN is DBA (doing business as) of myRFIDSpace, Inc. XECAN is a Boston based company incorporated in Delaware, USA.
“More and more radiation clinics are looking for a full patient safety management solution,” says Bin Yang, Ph.D, CEO of XECAN, "XECAN wanted to find just the right partner to work with to meet the needs of the market. We are very delighted to work with C-RAD; the combined strength of both companies will not only expand both of our product lines, but also improve the quality of our services.”
“We are excited to enter into the cooperation with XECAN. This new partner has very strong technology expertise, whereas C-RAD has a very attractive software platform with a high level of integration to automate clinical workflows and a global sales organization to commercialize the new products in major markets.” says Tim Thurn, CEO and President of C-RAD AB, “It is the first step to broaden our offering, and at the same time strengthen our value proposition in the area of highly accurate patient positioning.”
