Dr. Vining continues to develop technologies related to colorectal cancer screening and medical informatics. In 2012, he launched his second startup company, VisionSR, to commercialize a multimedia reporting solution, called ViSion, that generates structured medical data from disparate sources and links this information in timelines from which medical outcomes can be calculated.
