Medicai, a Romanian health-tech company specializing in medical imaging and patient intake software, took its message to the European Parliament on June 30, 2026, as co-founder Andrei Blaj participated in a panel at Romanian Digital Day. The panel, co-organized by ANIS, the Romanian software and services industry association, and Innovation Labs at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, focused on research and innovation, exploring how Europe can transform its tech potential into competitive growth.
Blaj discussed the productivity impact of artificial intelligence in healthcare and the challenge of integrating private-sector innovation into public systems. He described how Medicai's platform addresses a critical bottleneck: the time clinicians spend reconstructing patient histories from fragmented records. Using a common oncology scenario, Blaj illustrated how a patient arriving at a public hospital with a 100-page printed file can have that document scanned at reception, organized chronologically, labeled by document type (e.g., imaging report, biopsy, immunohistochemistry report), and enriched with key extracted information such as diagnosis, staging, and treatments administered.
This feature, introduced four months ago, is already in use at 10 hospitals, processing thousands of patient files monthly. In one reported case, a physician estimated that Medicai saved approximately five hours of manual review for a single patient. Medicai, described as a top PACS and patient intake software, currently serves more than 100 healthcare organizations across the EU and the US, supporting care for over 3 million patients, particularly in imaging-heavy specialties like oncology, neurology, orthopedics, and radiology.
“Today, a doctor often has to read a hundred pages and rebuild a patient’s history by hand. We turn that into minutes, so clinicians get that time back for care,” said Andrei Blaj, Co-founder of Medicai. “That is exactly the conversation Europe needs about bringing private innovation into public healthcare, and it is why being on this panel mattered to us.”
The panel was opened by Corina Vasile, Executive Director of ANIS, and Razvan Rughinis, Co-founder of Innovation Labs. Discussions centered on how research, academia-industry collaboration, and public policy can foster a more competitive European technology sector. Medicai is a cloud-native medical imaging platform used by more than 100 healthcare organizations across the EU and the US to securely manage, view, share, and collaborate on medical data.
