Customer experiences and insights

Several customers highlighted their personal experiences with how Merge has helped them tackle challenges like AI integrations, cybersecurity, expansion and scalability, and their cloud journeys.

Industry recognition

Monique Rasband, VP of Imaging & Oncology at KLAS, presented the findings of the 2025 KLAS report, where Merge Cardio & Merge Hemo ranked Best in KLAS for Cardiology and Hemodynamics, respectively. This achievement wouldn’t be possible without your continued collaboration and feedback.

Partner integrations

The Merge Cardio ecosystem continues to grow, as partners VUEMED, Cedaron, Baxter, INVIA, and TOMTEC presented their integrated solutions at the conference.

The Merge User Conference is an invaluable opportunity for customers to be in-person and face-to-face with the Merge Cardio and Hemo teams, as well as other users. It’s also the best chance all year to learn firsthand of the innovative developments coming down the road – like our continued focus on AI, cloud support, and other user-driven improvements requested by our customers.

We hope you’ll join us in 2026!
