Lifetrack Medical Systems

Lifetrack Medical Systems is a health-technology company built around a specific, well-documented gap in emerging-market healthcare: a severe shortage of radiologists relative to the volume of medical imaging that needs to be read. The company was founded in 2012 by Dr. Eric Schulze, who had earlier founded one of the first U.S. teleradiology companies in 2003 with radiologist reading centers that included Manila and Singapore, before divesting that business in 2011 and rethinking radiology software from the ground up. Lifetrack itself launched in late 2016 and is headquartered in Taguig, Philippines, though some public sources also describe it as having a Singapore-linked presence as part of its regional operations — a detail this entry flags honestly rather than resolving with more precision than the sources allow. Available sources do not establish Dr. Schulze’s own nationality, so this entry does not claim he is Filipino; the company’s headquarters, most of its documented history, and much of its case-study usage are nonetheless clearly rooted in the Philippines.

Lifetrack’s flagship product, LifeSys, is a cloud-native Radiology Information System / Picture Archiving and Communication System (RIS/PACS) designed to let a limited pool of radiologists serve a much larger, more distributed set of hospitals and clinics — improving turnaround times and extending specialist coverage to facilities that could never justify hiring a full-time radiologist on their own. The company has stated that over 2 million patient studies across 12 countries have been diagnosed using its platform, with customers spanning the United States, Philippines, Indonesia, India, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, the UK, and Nigeria.

Lifetrack raised a $5.2 million Series A2 round led by strategic investor Philips, with participation from existing investors not individually named in available sources. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company also offered free remote CT-scan triaging support to Antique province in the Philippines, extending its core radiologist-scarcity model to a public-health emergency use case.

Many hospitals and clinics in the Philippines and other emerging markets generate more medical imaging (X-rays, CT scans, and similar studies) than the local supply of radiologists can realistically read in a timely way, leaving patients waiting on diagnoses or facilities without any radiologist coverage at all.

Hospitals, clinics, and healthcare networks in emerging markets — and the radiologists who serve them remotely — that need imaging read faster and more efficiently than their local specialist supply alone would allow.

Lifetrack built a cloud-native RIS/PACS platform specifically to let a limited pool of radiologists serve many more facilities than traditional on-premise systems allow, rather than building a general-purpose hospital IT product, and it has multi-country deployment experience spanning both mature and emerging healthcare markets.
