The platform

One AI-native platform across endoscopy, pathology and radiology.

An AI-native PACS in two layers — edge and pod — deployable on-prem or hybrid, on DICOM and HL7, fitting the systems you already have.

An AI-native PACS in two layers: edge and pod

CloudKites is an AI-native PACS built in two layers. Edge software — EndoEdge, PathoEdge, TomoEdge — assists healthcare workers in real time at the point of care. Behind it, the pods — EndoPod, PathoPod, TomoPod — are the information system and archive, deployable on-prem or hybrid by your choice, AI-assisted-ready with models that plug in gradually.

  • EndoEdge + EndoPod — Real-time endoscopy AI and a complete endoscopic information system.
  • PathoEdge + PathoPod — Whole-slide imaging, a lab information system, and AI for pathology.
  • TomoEdge + TomoPod — An AI-native RIS and PACS for radiology.

Consented or faceless model; no patient-identifiable data, no real medical-record text, no third-party or competitor logos/UI.

How the platform fits together

Each modality has an edge tool at the point of care and a pod as its information system and archive. The edge assists and captures; the pod organises, syncs and drafts — with the clinician reviewing, editing and signing throughout.

You choose where the pod lives

The pod is the information system and archive — and where it runs is a decision the customer makes, not one the platform makes for them.

Some departments want everything to stay inside their own walls; others want the reach of the cloud for review, teaching or a second site. CloudKites does not pick the winner. A pod can run fully on-prem, keeping the archive and the information system inside the facility. Or it can run hybrid — an on-prem pod paired with a cloud pod — where the two stay in sync asynchronously, so the edge keeps working through interruptions and the studies become reachable wherever they are needed. The arrangement is yours, and it can change as you do.

The same flexibility runs the other way too — in scale. The architecture flexes from a single small clinic to a medium-to-large hospital without changing how it behaves. A small anatomical-pathology lab can run PathoPod as its LIS; a busy radiology department can run TomoPod as a full AI-native RIS and PACS; an endoscopy unit can run EndoPod as its EIS. You add capacity and modalities as you grow, and the platform you knew on day one is the platform you keep.

Three edge-and-pod pairs, one foundation

Endoscopy, pathology and radiology look like three different worlds. Underneath, each is an edge tool plus a pod on one AI-native foundation — and that is a choice with real consequences for the people who use it.

It would have been easier to build three separate products, each with its own habits, its own quirks, its own definition of what counts as safe. Plenty of software grows that way, one team at a time, until the seams show. CloudKites chose the harder path on purpose: one AI-native foundation, expressed as an edge tool and a pod for each modality. The endoscopist, the pathologist and the radiologist see tools shaped to their craft — EndoEdge and EndoPod, PathoEdge and PathoPod, TomoEdge and TomoPod — but they are standing on the same ground.

The payoff is that the model does not fragment. The edge assists in real time and captures; the pod is the information system — EIS, LIS or RIS — encapsulating studies as DICOM and aligning to HL7 with a HIPAA-aware posture. Deployment is on-prem or hybrid by choice. AI plugs in gradually and is customisable per customer. And the clinician stays in the loop, reviewing and signing the semi-automated report. When a department adds a second or third modality, it is not learning a second or third way of working. It already knows this one.

There is a quieter benefit too. A shared foundation means a model that helps in one modality can be extended to the next, and a standard met in one place is a standard met everywhere. The platform gets better as a whole rather than in disconnected pieces — and the clinician, who never asked to think about any of this, simply finds that the edge tool assists and the pod behaves the same way wherever they meet it.

What stays true across every product

The table below is a summary. Behind each row is a principle that does not bend from one modality to the next.

The two-layer shape is the first of them. Every product is an edge tool at the point of care plus a pod that is the information system and archive — and that pod is deployable on-prem or hybrid by the customer's choice, never imposed. The second is that everything is standards-based: studies are encapsulated as DICOM and the systems are built to be HL7- and HIPAA-compliant, so a pod sits inside the hospital landscape rather than apart from it. Neither of these is a per-product decision; both hold everywhere by construction.

The third is the AI posture: pluggable, extensible models that plug in gradually for specific tasks, customisable per customer, drafting semi-automated reports that a clinician always reviews, edits and signs. There is no autonomous diagnosis anywhere on the platform — a human stays in the loop at the point where anything reaches the record. These three together are not a marketing list; they are the contract the platform makes with the people who rely on it, and the contract is identical whether the work is endoscopy, pathology or radiology.
