Yes, Clariso is still very much around. In fact, I introduced their product to an organization that is used by large hospital chains to outsource radiology reports to, these guys have tens of full-time, in-house radiologists looking at hundreds of reports all day, every day. Their immediate reaction after checking out the product? Blown away! The best alternative costs them over $100k/year and it feels like Windows95. Their CTO could not believe such a solution was even possible. The CEO (a radiologist with >25 years of report-reading experience) said to me that this could be "revolutionary".

It "only" works in Chrome. That's a problem.

Limited in ie, firefox and mobile.
If it saved your company > $100k a year, you'd probably rollout Chrome or at least ChromeFrame
My comment was more rooted in seeing a rough area of application for what I presume their tech and backend must be capable of, and then thinking about where else it could be put to use outside of the consumer market.
How'd the Clariso folks end up? Still around, I hope?
How much interest do you gauge for these sorts of things (better tech in medical, which is admittedly a whole can of worms)?
