If you're evaluating Tricefy (Trice Imaging) for sending ultrasound images to patients, PACSBridge is a focused alternative built around one job: giving parents a de-identified, clinic-branded keepsake while the medical record stays in your systems.
These are different kinds of product. The honest starting point is what each is built to do.
Trice describes Tricefy as a cloud medical-imaging platform, spanning cloud PACS, reporting, integration and patient engagement. Trice states that Tricefy is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration Class I medical device, that it operates an information-security management system under ISO 27001:2022 certification (audited by BSI) and a quality-management system audited by TÜV to ISO 13485:2016, and that it acts as a Business Associate under HIPAA.
PACSBridge does one job: sonographer-selected images, de-identified and clinic-branded, delivered to parents by one-way DICOM. There is no clinical archive and no PACS replacement. Your clinic controls exactly what leaves, and parents view the keepsakes on their phone with no app.
Most keepsake buyers are not shopping for a broad imaging platform or a certifications checklist. They want three things: data minimisation, clinic control over exactly what leaves, and ease of adoption. That is the axis PACSBridge is built for.
PACSBridge is deliberately narrower than a full platform. It does not create a clinical archive and it does not replace your PACS. For a keepsake workflow that is a feature, not a gap: less data leaves the clinic, there is less to administer, and the sonographer stays in control of every image that reaches a parent.
PACSBridge details are from our own product. Tricefy details reflect only what Trice Imaging publicly states; where Trice does not publish a detail, the cell is left blank rather than guessed.

PACSBridge is not for everyone. Tricefy is likely the better choice if your priorities look like this:
If a focused, clinic-controlled keepsake layer is what you actually need, book a short demo or start a free trial with your own branding.
