CIMAR – leaders in diagnostic image management solutions
The cloud is transforming healthcare with advanced data storage and digital solutions. At CIMAR, we tackle the challenges of managing medical image data, ensuring secure access and seamless cross-enterprise integration. Our cloud-native services offer leading functionality for efficient, secure, and cost-effective medical image storage, sharing and routing (AI). We help you reimagine your medical image management strategy to meet current and future needs safely and securely.
“Our cloud’s flexibility allows for adaptable workflows, enabling rapid improvements at comparatively minimal cost. CIMAR provides tailored cloud workflows for large hospitals, health systems, and small practices, meeting all imaging needs. We innovate medical image management, reducing costs and empowering staff to focus on patient care while we handle the imaging data.”
Howard Jenkinson, CEO, CIMAR UK
NHS & private healthcare partners
We provide connectivity to around 50% of NHS Trusts and 80% of UK private hospital groups and constantly growing. Hospitals increasingly recognise the unique benefits, efficiencies, and savings our cloud solutions offer. Our secure, scalable, system-agnostic VNA cloud platform streamlines workflows and increases efficiencies, supporting major mobile health screening systems (e.g., Public Health England’s Targeted Lung Health Check, National Breast Screening Services), clinical trials, radiology reporting services, and remote/mobile imaging services.
Our NHS-approved platform operates across all networks. CIMAR’s extensively connected cloud links hospitals nationwide, enabling cross-network imaging workflows, as well as internationally. This network provides a logical, virtualised platform into which other medical technology vendors can integrate their technologies. CIMAR’s appointment in 2023 to build and provide NHS England with its AI Deployment Platform Pilot exemplifies our flexibility, scalability, and vendor neutrality.
We are eager to explore opportunities with medical software application innovators. Our cloud platform offers an ideal connection point to imaging sources nationally and beyond, supporting training, algorithm deployment at scale, and ongoing independent monitoring. We invite all imaging innovators to get connected.
Our history
CIMAR began its mission to accelerate and simplify borderless image access using the Cloud in 2010. Since those early days with unimpressive internet speeds, much has changed. The COVID pandemic significantly accelerated cloud service adoption. Our company has built a reputation for innovation, speed, excellent service, flexibility, and expertise in connecting systems from different vendors and seamlessly moving data between them via our Cloud. These strengths are now the foundation of our well-known solutions.
Over recent years, we have formed numerous partnerships with leading technologies, internet innovators, and a range of established and emerging AI vendors.
Our company, team, and client base have doubled annually since 2019. Today, we are well-positioned to lead the UK’s medical imaging cloud market and drive the next generational change in healthcare. Central to this is deploying AI at scale into imaging workflows and independently managing and monitoring its performance in real time.

The Leadership Team
Howard Jenkinson
Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer
“ As co-founder of CIMAR, I recognise that the management of medical imaging is undergoing rapid and necessary transformation, driven by the demands of modern healthcare. Cloud services are key in simplifying this progress and ensuring that medical imaging systems are efficient, scalable, and accessible. Our mission is to make our cloud solutions available to all who can benefit from them, while tailoring these solutions to meet the specific needs of diverse healthcare environments.
We are committed to partnering with healthcare providers, regardless of size, NHS or private, to deliver remarkable solutions that our cloud services can enable. Our approach is collaborative, ensuring that each implementation is customised to optimise clinical workflows, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and improve patient outcomes.
At CIMAR, we lead every step of the way, providing expert guidance and support to seamlessly integrate our cloud solutions into existing systems. Our goal is to empower healthcare providers with the tools they need to stay at the forefront of medical imaging innovation, ensuring they can deliver the highest standard of care. ”
Dennis Wait
Chief Commercial Officer
“ Heading the Commercial team at CIMAR since 2020, Dennis brings a wealth of experience in the Cloud PACS landscape, complemented by a clinical diagnostics background in Cardiology. He holds degrees in Clinical Technology, Education and MBA, which have equipped him with a strong foundation in both the technical and business aspects of healthcare IT. As an early technology adopter, he played an early role in one of the first “Assisted Reporting (AR)” man-vs-machine assessments in Cardiology, paving the way for future AI advancements.
I believe Integrating diagnostic imaging systems is crucial for modern healthcare in the UK and globally, as it enhances clinical efficiency, ensures seamless data sharing, improves diagnostic and data accuracy and supports better patient outcomes. This still ‘relatively new’ and fast-expanding area of health data management, offers significant opportunities to supplement the capabilities of large OEMs and secure a fair and competitive market. By streamlining workflows and enabling advanced analytics, integrated systems foster innovation and drive competition, ensuring that healthcare providers have access to cutting-edge technology and cost-effective solutions. As this field evolves, it will play a key role in shaping the future of diagnostic healthcare, delivering both clinical and economic benefits. ”
