1. Robust Imaging Solution
Blacklight is accessible from any internet browser and is platform
neutral. No special server or hardware is needed—runs on any
internet-enabled device
Blacklight can import and convert any of the following outputs to
standard DICOM: jpeg, jpeg2000, png, tiff, bmp, dcm, and pdf. By our
estimate, this covers over 90% of all ophthalmic outputs
Blacklight reads ―burnt in‖ data from legacy image formats and
converts it to standard DICOM or HL7 outputs. Flexible ―learning
algorithm‖ can identify and learn to interpret new formats, even of
non-ophthalmic images
Uncluttered interface is customizable and only shows data typically
required in the course of a clinical workflow or requested by clinician.
All other image data is available at the click of a button
Dark background colors of site design/interface make it easier for the
human eye to view and notice details in images

2. Intuitive Viewing and Editing Tools
Blacklight compares multiple images side-by-side
Blacklight can overlay multiple images to easily identify differences
Intuitive drag-and-resize interface mimics a tabletop and allows
clinicians to arrange images according to individual preferences
Unique ―in place‖ zoom lens allow for details to be viewed in the
context of the full image, without the need for panning or clunky
zoom controls
Commonly used tools (i.e. rotate, brightness, contrast, etc.) are all
activated with just one click. Adjustments to an image can be saved
and applied to other images, or to all inputs from a specific modality
Original inputs from devices are saved separately from edited
images and always accessible
Blacklight enables easy annotation on individual images, an entire
group of images, or EHR data for a patient, all in the same interface
without opening a new window or leaving the current page

3. Streamlined Integration with Workflow
Securely accessible from any internet browser, on any work or
personal device
Only pay for what you use—no up-front installment fees or long-
term contracts
Single click takes a clinician to next patient on schedule (when
appointments are integrated via an EHR or internal worklist)
Blacklight can integrate with (and be used as a cloud-based backup
solution for) an existing PACS or be used as a standalone PACS
Blacklight can integrate with any EHR system employing HL7 or
ASTM CCR/CCD formats. Currently working on ―native‖ integration
with Allscripts EHR systems
Blacklight enables single sign-on - Users can create a unique
Blacklight account or use any authentication system that employs
tokens (like Oauth): A current pilot project is underway with Columbia
Medical School Dept. of Ophthalmology that allows for single sign-on
with Columbia’s unique UNI accounts

4. Safe and Scalable Data Storage & Archiving
Fully HIPAA compliant
All images can be quickly downloaded into standard DICOM format
Simple drag-and-drop image uploads for most browsers
Blacklight supports both short-term, rapid-access storage that is
readily available for data sharing and long-term, slow-access
historical archive storage
Blacklight supports archiving of infrequently accessed images on very
low-cost cloud storage
All data storage is AES-256 encrypted for maximum security
Images can be easily anonymized and shared with other clinicians for
research or instructional purposes
Images can also be shared with patients. This not only helps
maximize patient engagement, but allows them to keep images for
future reference or to share with other clinicians

5. New Features Coming Soon!
Videos/3D - Automatic compiling of image series (ultrasound, MRI,
etc.) into videos or 3D, for easier viewing
Preference learning – Blacklight will remember and display by default
the tools or data fields a clinician accesses most often
Image sketching – Draw notes directly onto images
Mobile optimization – Further optimization of our interface on iPad
and other tablets or smartphones
Admin Panel – Allow administrators to monitor a group of clinicians
and view analytics of their typical workflow, as well as areas that can
be improved to be in line with published ―best practices‖
