First in Texas to implement the Stereotaxis Odyssey™ Cinema Studio and Epoch™ Platforms

THE HEART HOSPITAL is one of the first in the world to implement Odyssey™ Cinema Studio, a fully integrated, real-time information management system that promotes online education and collaboration by allowing physicians to remotely access live and recorded procedure data across the hospital system and around the world.

Odyssey™ improves the efficiency of interventional cardiology and electrophysiology departments through a remote, consolidated view of the entire lab allowing consultation between physicians and other facilities worldwide. Procedures that are broadcast on the Odyssey™ Network feature a complete view of the systems within the interventional lab in high definition, preserving the fine details of diagnostic and imaging data using proprietary compression technology.

The Epoch platform, an advanced computer controlled technology, allows physicians to navigate within the patient's heart with robotic precision to provide faster, more efficient, quality magnetic catheter control for cardiac ablation procedures for the treatment of complex cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats).

"With our commitment to quality, technology and exemplary health care, implementing advanced technology like Odyssey™ helps us continue this commitment offering innovative techniques for enhancing our interventional cardiology and electrophysiology services," says Mark Valentine, president, THE HEART HOSPITAL Baylor Plano. "This technology allows physicians on the medical staff at THE HEART HOSPITAL to access other clinical experts remotely or within the hospital for real time collaboration."
