Mobile Support
Your phone is a hotspot. Your browser is a PACS. Diagnose from anywhere.
Sirona runs in any mobile browser — no app to download, no VPN to configure. Use your phone as a hotspot and your laptop as a reading station, anywhere on the planet. Our distributed edge computing architecture delivers clinical-grade performance even on cellular connections.
How Sirona is Different
Quick clinical support from wherever you are
A referring physician calls with a question about a study. With legacy PACS, you'd need to drive to the hospital or VPN into a workstation. With Sirona, you open your phone's browser, pull up the study, and have the conversation in real time. Mobile support isn't about replacing your reading room — it's about being available for clinical collaboration without being chained to a desk. Review a study for a colleague at dinner. Triage your worklist from the airport. Confirm a critical finding from your kid's soccer game. The platform goes where you go.
Full platform, mobile-ready
Everything Sirona does on a desktop works on a mobile device. Same browser, same data, same security — just a different screen size.
Browser-Based Access
Open Safari, Chrome, or any mobile browser and log in. No app to download, no MDM profile to install, no IT configuration required.
Adaptive Streaming on Cellular
Images stream progressively over LTE or 5G. Start reviewing within seconds — full diagnostic resolution follows as bandwidth allows.
Distributed Edge Computing
CDN edge nodes worldwide minimize latency regardless of your physical location. Clinical-grade performance from any cellular connection.
Responsive Interface
Viewer, reporter, and worklist adapt to any screen size. Optimized touch interactions for tablet and phone without sacrificing functionality.
HIPAA-Compliant Mobile Access
AES-256 encryption, TLS 1.3, SSO authentication. The same security model that protects your desktop session protects your mobile session.
Clinical Collaboration
Review studies with referring physicians in real time. Share findings, discuss cases, and provide clinical support from wherever you are.
Mobile scenarios that matter
Collaboration
Support referring physicians without leaving where you are
A surgeon calls about a pre-op study. An ER physician needs a second opinion on a trauma scan. A colleague wants you to review a tricky case. With Sirona, you pull up the study on any device, look at the images together, and have the clinical conversation — all without driving to the hospital or finding a workstation. This is the most common mobile use case: quick clinical collaboration that used to require physical presence. Sirona makes it a 30-second workflow from any location.

No VPN, no special hardware, no IT setup required
Connectivity
Your phone is a viable diagnostic connection
Sirona's distributed edge architecture was designed for variable bandwidth — the same design that handles Starlink's satellite fluctuations handles cellular connections gracefully. Tether your laptop to your phone's hotspot, and Sirona streams images from the nearest CDN edge node using adaptive bitrate encoding. On LTE, you get 20-50 Mbps. On 5G, 100+ Mbps. Either is more than enough for progressive image loading where you start reading immediately and quality refines in the background. This isn't a degraded experience — it's how the platform works everywhere.

Advantage
A capability your competitors literally cannot offer
Legacy PACS vendors build desktop software for hospital networks. Mobile support would require them to rebuild their entire architecture — rewrite the viewer for web rendering, move the image archive to the cloud, build adaptive streaming, deploy a CDN. That's not a feature request. That's a new company. Sirona was built cloud-native from day one, which means mobile access isn't an add-on. It's the natural state of the platform. When you're evaluating PACS vendors, ask them to pull up a study on their phone. The silence tells you everything.
Legacy vendors: on-premise architecture prevents mobile support entirely
Sirona: cloud-native from day one — mobile is default, not an add-on
No separate mobile app with limited features — same full platform
Zero additional cost — mobile access is included for every user
Security
Same security on mobile as on desktop — by default
A mobile session on Sirona is governed by the exact same security model as a workstation session. AES-256 encrypts data at rest in the cloud. TLS 1.3 protects every byte in transit. SSO via SAML 2.0 enforces your identity policies. Nothing is cached on the device — close the browser tab and there's nothing left behind. HIPAA compliance isn't a separate mobile feature; it's the default posture of the platform.
AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit — identical to desktop
SSO via SAML 2.0 enforces enterprise identity rules on every device
Zero local storage — no PHI persists on the phone or tablet
Session timeout, RBAC, and audit logging applied uniformly across endpoints
