Teal Medical

What Teal Medical does

Teal Medical is a Danish healthcare software company that develops and sells the Teal Engine, an automated platform for exporting medical images from PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems). The product executes a three-step workflow — finding studies within a PACS, de-identifying patient data in compliance with DICOM Standard Part 15 Section E (including pseudo-anonymization and burned-in text removal), and exporting to local disk, SFTP, or a DICOM node — and claims a 100-1000x speed advantage over manual workflows. The engine maintains awareness of all 4,000+ tags in the DICOM standard and supports export from any DICOM-compliant vendor globally.

The company targets three primary customer segments: health-tech platform providers seeking to streamline customer onboarding and remove dataset bottlenecks; medical researchers needing large, de-identified imaging datasets for AI and clinical research; and hospitals that require auditable, compliant data-sharing infrastructure. Notable customers and endorsers include Rigshospitalet (Denmark's flagship hospital, via CIO Henning Langberg), Bispebjberg Frederiksberg Hospital (via Professor Mikael Boesen), and RegionH, along with partners DHD, CHC, Innovationsfonden, and Accelrace. Partnerships with these institutions suggest a co-development and validation model rather than pure vendor-buyer relationships.

Teal Medical is privately held and founder-led, with Kasper Marstal (CEO) and Sigurd Carlsen (Software Engineer) as named founders and Zacharias Knudsen as a team member. Revenue is generated through a quote-based SaaS/subscription model with monthly billing cadence, engaged via direct website contact forms with a stated two-workday response commitment. The company is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, operates on a global DICOM-compatible basis, and has received support from the Danish Innovation Fund (Innovationsfonden), indicating public-sector R&D backing. No venture funding rounds, revenue figures, headcount data, or M&A activity are publicly disclosed.

Core offering

Teal Medical develops and sells the Teal Engine, a SaaS software platform that automates the finding, DICOM-compliant de-identification, and exporting of medical images from PACS systems. It is targeted at healthcare institutions, medical researchers, and health technology platform providers who need to move large datasets of radiology images out of PACS while preserving patient privacy. The product claims to operate 100-1000x faster than manual workflows and supports all DICOM-compliant vendors globally.

Product overview

Teal Medical offers a single unified product called the Teal Engine, which is a medical image data export platform. The product consists of a three-step process (Find, De-identify, Export) that enables researchers, companies, and hospitals to automatically find, de-identify, and export medical images from PACS systems. The Teal Engine handles DICOM-compliant de-identification across 4000+ DICOM tags and removes text burned into pixel data, exporting to local storage, SFTP, or DICOM nodes.

Direct peers

• Segmed: Aggregates and de-identifies real-world DICOM imaging data for AI training; competes head-to-head with Teal Engine on the pipeline from hospital PACS to compliant research-ready datasets.
• Ambra Health: Cloud-based medical image exchange and de-identification for hospitals and research networks; directly overlaps on DICOM export and compliant sharing workflows.
• Flywheel: Medical imaging data management and analysis platform for research and AI; directly comparable as it targets DICOM dataset curation, de-identification, and research workflows from hospital PACS systems.
• MIM Software: Radiology imaging software with workflows spanning PACS integration and clinical/research imaging; comparable DICOM expertise and healthcare-image focus.

Emerging players

• Arterys: Cloud-native medical imaging AI platform with focus on data pipeline and de-identification for clinical and research imaging — partial overlap with Teal Engine's data export/curation role.
• HealthMyne: Imaging informatics platform sitting on top of PACS/RIS; an emerging player in radiology data extraction and structured imaging analytics for downstream use.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens Healthineers (syngo / teamplay): Major PACS/imaging IT incumbent with deep DICOM tooling; overlapping export, de-identification, and research-data-sharing capabilities within its broader imaging IT stack.
• Philips (IntelliSpace / Vue PACS): Broad incumbent in healthcare imaging and PACS; offers overlapping DICOM export and de-identification as part of a wider enterprise imaging portfolio — a bundling threat.
• GE HealthCare (Edison / PACS): PACS and enterprise imaging incumbent; comparable DICOM and AI-data capabilities, often bundled with the modality/equipment sale, which raises competitive risk.
• Nuance / Microsoft PowerScribe: Radiology reporting and workflow suite; comparable DICOM-aware radiology IT footprint with export and integration capabilities across hospital systems.
