The endogo HD easily attaches to an endoscope to capture, store, and share high definition endoscopic images and video instantly with patients, their families and physicians following a procedure. This device could also potentially reduce costs by eliminating the need for additional procedures. Not only do we get to see inside of everything today, but now it’s also in HD.

In addition the information can also be send to an EHR program from the web storage services of eGoWorks™ in the cloud, and it is touch screen enabled too. What is pretty funny is they have a game where you can use the endoscope animated image and shoot down the old technology. BD
Press Release:
Bloomington, Ind., August 22, 2011 – Cook Medical recently 
launched the endogo® HD Portable Endoscopic Imaging System by Envisionier Medical Technology, Inc. The endogo HD has the ability to capture, store and share endoscopic images, making it possible for doctors to share information with patients instantly, simplify collaboration between colleagues and potentially reduce costs by eliminating the need for repeat procedures.[1]
With high definition video and still-image capture capabilities in a compact, portable setup, endogo HD allows a physician to share and review exam findings with the patient or family immediately following the exam, at the patient’s bedside or in a waiting room. A resident can also share captures with the attending physician, which may reduce the need for repeat procedures. With the endogo HD, OR imaging capabilities can now be available throughout the facility, wherever a procedure is performed. The combination of data acquisition, storage, management and the synchronization of patient folders in an easy-to-use Web application makes it possible to send an image or video over a secured connection to a referring doctor outside the facility.
Equally beneficial is the compatibility of the endogo HD with EMR systems. eGoWorks™, the online data storage and collaborative software that is compatible with the endogo HD, allows the data acquired with the portable camera to be used within EMR systems.
“We are excited about endogo HD because it truly underscores Cook’s commitment to physicians and their patients,” said Jean-Marc Creissel, global leader of Cook’s Urology business unit. “The technology simplifies the process of storing and sharing medical images. The benefits around care, ease of use and potential cost savings are significant because this technology streamlines how physicians interact with each other, their patients and external facilities.”
The endogo HD easily couples with both flexible and rigid endoscopes, transforming the captured images and video from analog to digital. The camera also has built-in light source optimization for high-quality imaging and a 3.5 inch removable LCD touch-screen (eGo™) for multimedia playback.
