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 the Romanian Digital Day. The event, 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, bringing together technology leaders to discuss Europe's tech potential and competitive growth.
During the panel, Blaj highlighted the productivity impact of artificial intelligence in healthcare and the challenges of integrating private-sector innovations into public systems. He described how Medicai's platform addresses one of the most time-consuming tasks for clinicians: managing fragmented patient records. Using a common oncology scenario, Blaj explained that when a patient arrives at a public hospital with a printed file of roughly 100 pages, a doctor or resident must read the entire document to reconstruct the patient's history. Medicai's solution scans the file at reception, organizes it chronologically, labels documents by type (e.g., imaging report, biopsy, immunohistochemistry report), and extracts key information such as diagnosis, staging, treatments, and medical history.
The feature, introduced four months ago, is already in use at 10 hospitals, processing thousands of patient files each month. In one reported case, a physician estimated that Medicai saved roughly five hours of manual review for a single patient. Medicai currently serves more than 100 healthcare organizations across the European Union and the United States, supporting care for over 3 million patients, with a focus on imaging-heavy specialties including 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 Blaj. "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 help build a more competitive European technology sector. Medicai, a cloud-native medical imaging platform, securely manages, views, shares, and collaborates on medical data for more than 100 healthcare organizations across the EU and the US.
