This is a logical extension of Varian’s product line that enables us to offer customers a more comprehensive information management solution, particularly in international markets, said Christopher Hanna, vice president for Varian Medical Systems’ Oncology Information Systems business. We are committed to providing all the tools needed for facilitating the delivery of effective cancer treatments.
The acquisition is intended to enable Varian to provide French-speaking and other international clinics and hospitals with information management technology for managing and maintaining electronic health records for cancer patients receiving radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy.
The Sigma Micro software supports billing in reimbursement schemes and works with equipment from vendors such as Varian. It can be purchased, installed, commissioned and serviced over the web, with the aim of offering a low-cost solution for clinics that are using other software for management of diagnostic and treatment planning images.
Employees of Sigma Micro are expected to continue in their present roles, working with their existing customers from their facility in Toulouse.
