Our History

XECAN provides AI-assisted clinic solution to improve clinic workflow, patient tracking, treatment safety and overall quality of patient care using facial recognition and machine learning. XECAN’s smart integration technology enables its software to be seamlessly integrated with all major hospital EMR systems. By combining different patient IDs, XECAN provides the following five major functional modules: Smart Reception, Smart Exam-room Whiteboards, Smart Treatment Procedure Verification, Treatment Planning Workflow Whiteboards and Clinical Analytics Reporting.

XECAN's products and services are used by some of the world's leading hospitals and medical centers. Customers include Yale Newhaven Health System, New York University Medical Center, VA-Boston (Department of Veteran Affairs), Lahey Hospital & Medical Center (Tufts University School of Medicine), Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital – Plymouth and Alliance Oncology. Founded in 2011 by a group of MIT trained engineers, XECAN is headquartered in Newton Massachusetts, and has distribution in 18 countries within Asia, Australia, Europe and the Americas.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to deliver the highest quality technology services for healthcare providers in order to increase patient safety and improve quality of care through innovation and partnership.
 

XECAN utilizes smart IDs and its wedge integration technology to increase patient safety, and improve efficiency by:

  • Coordinating care via the tracking of the patient, specimens, medications, and treatment procedures throughout the entire course of treatment reducing misidentification and errors. XECAN's wedge software agent interacts with the existing EMR system to ensure all preparations are in place and will disable the treatment procedure plan if there are any misidentifications.

  • Improving clinic workflow through automated clinic whiteboards.
