The imaging lifecycle is identical in all three plans. What changes is how much of it runs automatically - from a standalone portal, to LIS-driven intake, to PACS delivering scans without anyone touching a file.
A fully self-contained platform requiring no integration with existing hospital software. Every step - from patient registration to report delivery - is managed directly within the portal.

Everything in the Basic plan, extended with bidirectional integration with your existing Laboratory Information System. Patient records flow automatically - staff open pre-populated studies.
The complete solution. LIS integration from Economy, plus PACS connectivity that eliminates all manual scan uploads, a structured approval workflow hierarchy, and enterprise-grade role governance.
Every plan includes the complete report lifecycle. The differences are in automation, integration and governance.

01Basic Plan
Standalone Diagnostic Portal
Create a standalone platform where laboratory staff can upload scans, create reports and send them directly to patients. The Basic tier eliminates paper-based workflows and fragmented communication - without depending on any third-party system.

Why Basic works
No dependency on existing hospital software
Fastest time to deployment - 2 to 4 weeks
Zero training burden on IT or integration teams
Full audit trail from day one
Immediate digital delivery eliminates physical film
Patients access reports from any device, any time
End-to-end workflow
Two users only - Staff and Patient. The hospital completes its internal diagnostic work first, then staff bring the records into DIDP and publish to the patient.
1
Hospital completes internal diagnostic work
The scan is performed and reviewed using the facility’s existing process. DIDP is not involved at this stage.
2
Staff registers the patient
Name, mobile, email, date of birth, gender and Patient ID. Returning patients are searched and reopened.
3
Staff creates the study & uploads records
Adds the investigation type, uploads DICOM files or images, and writes the report in the editor.
4
Staff verifies everything internally
Confirms the report is complete, scans are linked correctly and patient details are accurate - looping in a colleague if needed.
5
Staff clicks publish
The report locks, an immutable audit record is created, and the delivery pipeline fires immediately.
6
Patient receives the report
WhatsApp and email arrive with a secure, time-limited link. The patient verifies by OTP and views the report and images.
End-to-end workflow
Intake stops being manual. The integration layer listens to your LIS and opens the study before staff even look for it.
1
Patient registered in the LIS
Front desk registers the patient and places the imaging order as usual.
2
Portal pulls patient & study automatically
DIDP receives the LIS event over REST, HL7, FHIR or DB sync and creates the patient and study pre-filled.
3
Lab assistant opens the existing study
No registration step - open and proceed straight to scan upload.
4
Scan uploaded
DICOM or image files are uploaded against the auto-created investigation.
5
Report created with collaboration
The radiologist writes the report and can request a second opinion internally without leaving the platform.
6
Doctor reviews
The referring doctor is notified and reviews the report and images, annotating, commenting or approving.
7
One-click publish
The report locks, delivery triggers, and the LIS is notified of completion through bidirectional sync.
8
Patient and doctor notified
WhatsApp, email and portal access arrive together; the doctor is told their patient’s report is ready.
02Economy Plan
Portal + LIS Integration
Instead of staff entering patient and order information by hand, the integration layer listens for events from the LIS and automatically creates the corresponding patient profiles, studies and investigations inside the portal.
Integration protocols
REST
Standard HTTP/JSON API integration with webhooks or polling. Compatible with most modern LIS systems.
HL7 v2
ORM/ORU message parsing for legacy LIS systems in clinical environments.
FHIR R4
HL7 FHIR R4 for modern, standards-compliant integrations and national health records.
Database sync
Direct, read-only database sync for closed LIS systems that expose no API.
Why Economy accelerates operations
Eliminates duplicate patient data entry across systems
Reduces per-study admin time by up to 70%
Internal collaboration removes communication silos
Bidirectional LIS sync keeps both systems in sync
Faster report turnaround from automated intake
Suitable for multi-department hospital environments
03Pro Plan
Complete Integrated Enterprise Platform
Even with LIS integration, scans still require manual upload. On Economy, a lab assistant must export DICOM files from the imaging machine and upload them - time-consuming, error-prone and a real risk of wrong-patient mapping. The Pro plan eliminates that step entirely.
Zero manual upload
PACS integration
Imaging machines connect to a PACS server over the DICOM protocol. DIDP connects to PACS through a secure API, so the moment a scan is acquired it appears in the portal - mapped to the correct patient and study.
MRI → PACS → DIDP, automatic and real-time
CT → PACS → DIDP, automatic and real-time
X-Ray → PACS → DIDP, automatic and real-time
Ultrasound → PACS → DIDP, automatic and real-time
No manual download, transfer or upload required
Data integrity
DICOM Worklist integration (MWL)
DIDP publishes a DICOM Modality Worklist that machines query before scanning. The machine knows exactly which patient it is scanning, ensuring integrity from acquisition all the way to delivery.
Worklist populated automatically from LIS orders
Machine reads patient name, ID, study date and modality
DICOM tags auto-populated - no manual entry at the machine
Eliminates wrong-patient scan errors
Structured approval chain
Six stages, each with a named owner. No report reaches a patient without passing through every one of them.
1
Portal Management Staff
Study receipt and doctor assignment.
2
Assigned Doctor
DICOM review and annotation.
3
Lab Assistant
Text report creation from the doctor’s notes.
4
Doctor Approval
Report review and digital sign-off.
5
Portal Manager
Final publish authorisation.
6
Patient
Receives the approved report.

Choosing
Which plan fits your operation
Independent diagnostic centre
You run imaging with a small team and no integration budget. You want digital delivery live in a month.
Start with Basic.
Multi-department hospital
You already run an LIS and duplicate data entry is the bottleneck. Reception, lab and radiology need one shared view.
Choose Economy.
Hospital network or enterprise
You have PACS, high volumes and compliance obligations, and no tolerance for manual scan handling or unapproved reports.
Go Pro.
