xWave Technologies and Vertex partner to elevate imaging referral quality across South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa.
xWave Technologies, a leading provider of AI-powered clinical decision support and diagnostic workflow optimisation tools, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Vertex, a trusted Radiology Information System (RIS) provider serving South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. This collaboration will bring xWave’s intelligent solutions directly into Vertex systems, transforming imaging referral quality, efficiency, and appropriateness across the region.
xWave Technologies’ core solutions - xWave Refer, xWave CDS, xWave Vetting and xWave Insight - use AI and evidence-based national and local guidelines to streamline imaging referrals, enhance vetting workflows, and support data-driven decision-making.
xWave CDS enhances imaging referrals and radiology workflow by delivering evidence-based national and local guidelines at the point of care. Built on a configurable rules engine, it provides real-time support on referral appropriateness, justification, and prioritisation; reducing variability and improving consistency in clinical decisions.
xWave Vetting advances the justification, protocoling by automating the use of evidence-based national and localised guidelines. Additionally, xWave Insight transforms referral data into evidence-based intelligence - helping imaging services improve quality, safety, and efficiency in real time.
Through this partnership, Vertex will integrate xWave’s solutions across South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, offering healthcare providers intelligent tools to elevate diagnostic quality and operational performance.
“We’re excited to partner with Vertex to bring our AI-powered solutions to South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa,” said Stefan McDonald, Chief Growth Officer at xWave Technologies. “This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to improving diagnostic quality and efficiency, and to supporting clinicians globally with the tools they need to deliver better care.”
“Our partnership with xWave Technologies allows us to offer a new level of intelligence and clinical value to our customers,” said Chris Goldie, CEO, Vertex. “By integrating xWave’s decision support and audit capabilities, we’re equipping healthcare providers across the region with the insights they need to make faster, more informed decisions, ultimately improving patient care and system sustainability.”
