Minneapolis, Minn. – April 1, 2025 – Flywheel, the leading medical imaging data management and analysis platform, announced the launch of a video viewing and annotation tool to manage and analyze video alongside imaging and associated data within its platform. This integration with an open-source annotation platform will allow researchers across healthcare and life sciences to accelerate AI development and improved patient outcomes, with applications in surgical planning, operational efficiency and medical device adoption.

With this integration, Flywheel addresses a critical research need by offering an end-to-end platform to ingest, process, view, annotate and analyze both imaging and video data together, at scale. Users will be able to further leverage Flywheel's foundational tools to build custom pipelines for video data curation, including conversion of proprietary video formats and extracting clips or frames for annotation and labeling, as well as securely share curated video data across organizations.

This new video functionality enables users to create a unified, secure imaging and video data repository with tools to automate curation, processing and analytic pipelines that can accelerate medical innovation. Leveraging Flywheel's advanced platform with imaging and video data management streamlines the training of machine learning models, regulatory submissions, clinical decision-making and outcome assessment — ultimately advancing scientific discovery and patient care.

"Medical video is playing an increasingly crucial role throughout the patient care continuum, drug development, and medical device advances — and offers clear opportunities for AI-driven insights and innovation," said Shelby Wyatt, Chief Product Officer of Flywheel. "By integrating video annotation capabilities alongside our strength in medical imaging data management, we're enabling Pharmaceutical, Medical Device, and Healthcare organizations to accelerate and improve therapeutic and surgical interventions as well as clinical research. This represents a pivotal step on the path to enabling a comprehensive view of the patient and ultimately moving the needle towards personalized care."
