VIDA Wins Product of Outstanding Interest Award for Precision Pulmonary Imaging Solution
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- VIDA Diagnostics, Inc. ("VIDA"), the leader in precision pulmonary imaging, today announced it has received the European Respiratory Society's Product of Outstanding Interest (POINT) award. The honor recognizes innovation in the area of respiratory healthcare, with a focus on solutions solving clinical care challenges.
"We are delighted and honored to receive the POINT award here at ERS," said Susan A. Wood, Ph.D, President and CEO of VIDA. "We thank the ERS for recognizing and supporting our mission of improving patient outcomes through precision imaging."
VIDA's solution transforms raw imaging data into concise, quantified measures that inform highly personalized care decisions.

VIDA is demonstrating this workflow and others at ERS, with its next-generation viewing platform, VIDA|vision™.
"VIDA's solution captures the personalized medicine theme of ERS," said Felix Herth, MD, Ph.D, Chairman, Department of Pneumology and Critical Care Medicine at ThoraxKlinik, University of Heidelberg. "An informed decision process is increasingly necessary as pulmonary diagnoses and therapeutics become more personalized. VIDA takes into account the uniqueness of the patient and helps us plan a unique care path to match."
