Images are your business, managing them is ours.
About us
Founded in 2004 by Chris Wilde, Waba has a rich history rooted in expertise and innovation in Data and Image Management. Shortly after its inception, Peter Snipe joined as a co-Director, bringing his extensive experience and a shared vision with Chris from their previous collaborations.
Our software has been specifically designed to serve the medical market, with a particular focus on the NHS. Our first four clients, UCL, GOSH, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Addenbrookes NHS worked very closely with us from the concept stages of MIM through to the continued and ongoing development of MIM to date.
Waba proudly serves nearly eighty clients across the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, continuing our commitment to excellence and innovation in medical software solutions.
Ongoing Developments & News
Over the years, our products and modules have evolved, allowing us to seamlessly integrate MIM with a wide range of hospital applications, including Clinical Portals, Electronic Patient Records (EPR), and Electronic Health Records (EHR). This integration offers a comprehensive and cohesive solution for our clients.
Building on the success of our first clinical app, WMP, and the Skin Lesion App (WSL), we are excited to introduce the Casio DZ-D100-AEA derm camera to our portfolio. We understand that not all environments are ideal for app use, so the DZ-D100 fits perfectly within the Waba dermatology family. You can choose to use it alongside the WSL app or as a standalone tool to capture high-quality dermatology photos.

FAQ'S
-
How much is the Waba Mobile App (WMP)?Before we talk costs, why not get in touch with us so we can ask you a few simple questions about your requirements. Once we have more information, we'll be happy to provide you with some costs.
-
How much is the Waba Skin Lesion App (WSL)?There are a number of factors to consider before we give you a cost, so why not drop us a line so we can discuss your requirements in more detail.
-
Can we use both Apps, WMP and WSL in the Trust or Health Board?The simple answer is, yes. WMP has been designed to work along side your clinical photography department, especially out of hours. It can capture both photographs and video. WSL has been designed specifically for capturing Skin Lesion photos with and without a dermatoscope attached to your mobile device and crucial patient and family Skin Lesion history.
-
How do I prepare for a server upgrade?The starting point for your server migration is: The Trust will need to decide on how you want the server structure to look. So, Where should the application go? Where is the database going to be? What is the location of the image store? This could all be on one new server or spread across several, this is for the Trust to decide! A typical set-up would look like: 1. Live application server for MIM. 2. Test application server for MIM. 3. SQL server (Live and test) 4. Image store - one location or several

-
Will we be required to purchase an API if we buy the Waba WMP App?No, when you purchase WMP, Waba will provide their own API as part of the purchase.
-
Apart from a capital purchase, are there other options to purchase from Waba?"Yes of course, we realise that many Trust's want to plan ahead, which is why in addition to a 'Capital purchase' we can offer a 'Revenue Purchase' option which can be spread over a number of years, this allows your Trust to plan ahead. Waba are also part of the Framework.
-
I understand that you are launching a new 'Patient upload' App?Yes, that is correct and it is currently in test. Because of Covid19 and the subsequent restrictions on visiting hospitals, we have been asked by a number of Trusts to design and build and App that will allow pre-selected patients to securely send clinical photo's directly to the MIM database at the request of their clinician. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like some more information on the Patient upload App.
