Singular seals US deal to roll out 3D medical imaging platform
Singular says three major challenges continue to hobble the US healthcare system - redundant medical imaging, slow disease detection and fragmented access to patient data.
The company's 3D medical imaging platform - dubbed 3DICOM MD - has been purpose-built to solve these issues by streamlining access to medical scans across multiple servers, thereby reducing duplication, saving time, cutting costs and improving outcomes. It has also already been cleared for diagnostic use in the US.
The new contract follows a year-long collaboration with PNS that started with a memorandum of understanding in November last year. The project has now evolved into a full-blown rollout backed by both parties.
The breakthrough deal will see Singular push out its US$800 (A$1230) platforms to 1000 doctors within the PNS network. PNS manages more than 3.7 million patients stretched across Florida, Texas and Puerto Rico.
The deal also attracts an additional success fee of US$500,000 (A$768,000) when PNS signs off on the satisfactory integration of its AI model and centralised image repository.
A successful implementation could potentially leverage PNS's partner network in 30 additional states and open the door to a much larger-scale nationwide rollout.
Singular says the landmark deal is a massive shot in the arm, giving it a solid beachhead in the lucrative US healthcare market ahead of a much bigger national push. The company is eyeing a jaw-dropping US$19 billion (A$29.2B) annual market opportunity, with 1.3 million doctors typically linked to 19 separate managed service organisations.
To support its growth strategy Singular has also locked in firm commitments for a heavily supported $8 million placement at 35 cents per share, which is a modest 4.6 per cent discount on its recent trading average.
The company says the capital raising attracted strong interest from institutional investors and high-net-worth backers, with both PNS and existing investor Marin & Sons tinning up to support the placement.
PNS chief executive officer and founder Dr Jose Pelayo praised the technology as a smarter, more efficient way to fix duplicate imaging.
With a strong war chest, now sitting at nearly $13 million after the latest capital raising, powerful allies and a proven tech platform now gaining traction in the world's largest healthcare market, Singular Health may be about to rewrite the rules on medical imaging – in 3D.

ASX follows US lead for broad gains
The Australian sharemarket has followed a bullish lead from the US, with all sectors finishing well into the green on Tuesday. The S&P/ASX200 finished with a 1.2 per cent gain, tacking on 106 points to close at 8770, six points shy of the record recorded last month. The All Ords rose 1.2 per cent, while interest rate sensitive discretionary and financial shares were the biggest gainers. Expectations of a rate cut in the US are nearing 90 per cent, and the local bourse followed Wall Street's green sweep into Tuesday trading. Overnight the three major US indexes had their largest daily gains since May. 'The rally came after the bulls wrestled back control on Wall Street overnight, as the prospect of a sooner and deeper Fed rate cuts offset slowdown concerns stemming from last Friday's weak jobs report,' IG analyst Tony Sycamore said. 'The US interest rate market is now fully priced for a 25bp rate cut in September, with a cumulative 63 basis points of rate cuts expected between now and the end of the year.' Commonwealth Bank says a layer of uncertainty has been removed from the global economy with confirmation of 10 per cent baseline US tariffs, which will produce modest gains for the Aussie Dollar this week. Across the ASX on Tuesday, rare earth stocks benefited from talk of a floor price to counter China's massive industrial subsidies. Commonwealth Bank says the baseline US tariff confirmation removes a layer of uncertainty for investors. NewsWire / Nicholas Eagar Credit: NCA NewsWire Critical mineralist Iluka Resources rocketed to a 8.6 per cent gain ($5.78), and Lynas Rare Earths spiked 5.2 per cent on the back of its presentation to a major conference in Kalgoorlie. All 50 of the ASX's largest firms — except South32 — finished in the green, led by gains for sleep apnoea equipment firm Resmed (3.9 per cent), investors Washington H Soul Pattinson and Company (2.8 per cent) and Wesfarmers (2.8 per cent). NAB, Goodman, ANZ, Woodside, Westpac and Commonwealth all gained between 1.3 and 1.6 per cent. Commonwealth Bank's pick-up came after an announcement it had set aside $130m to transition Bankwest to a fully digital brand while absorbing its business banking. Investors were keen on TPG Telecom until they weren't, with the telco's share price starting hot and quickly descending into negative territory. Ratings agency S&P detailed reasons for its negative outlook on TPG, sinking the share price 0.4 per cent ($5.50). Credit Corp recorded a sharp 16 per cent gain following release of full-year profits, largely down to debt recoveries in the US. Ahead of financials, it was the ASX discretionary sector making leaps and bounds on Tuesday. Multinational English-language training provider Idp Education rose almost eight per cent ($3.93), while fragrance house Dusk lifted 5.7 per cent ($0.92). Propel Funeral Partners, skateboard company Globe and heating and cooling equipment seller Adrad all gained more than five per cent. These consumer stocks followed Wall Street's lead, as did the Asian markets. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 0.7 per cent, with South Korean shares jumping 1.6 per cent. The US President's threat to penalise India for buying Russian oil steadied the commodity's price following a three-day slide.
