Barco Healthcare is the healthcare activity of Barco, a technology company focused on visualization, networking and collaboration. Barco lists healthcare as one of its core markets, with applications in diagnostic imaging and the digital operating room. It also offers software such as SlideRightQA, an AI-powered tool that automates the quality review of whole slide images in digital pathology. The products are aimed at hospitals, radiology and pathology departments and the integrators and software vendors that build imaging workflows around them. The core offering is display and visualization hardware, supplied together with software.
Barco is headquartered in Kortrijk, Belgium, and its shares trade on Euronext Brussels, so no non-European parent company is involved. Because the main products are equipment used in clinical rooms, hosting questions arise mainly for software components such as SlideRightQA. For those, a European organisation should confirm the deployment model and the processing locations with the vendor. The products are proprietary and not open source.
