Singular signs top US radiologist to pick up imaging rollout pace
Western Australian medical technology innovator Singular Health Group has strengthened its push into the lucrative United States healthcare market with the appointment of a seasoned radiologist with more than two decades' experience as its US radiology advisor. In a move aimed squarely at cementing clinical credibility and accelerating commercialisation, Dr Alex Alonso will also set up Singular's flagship 3DICOM radiology platform at his own diagnostic centre, Life Radiology FL, in Doral, Florida. The appointment follows Singular's binding enterprise agreement with Provider Network Solutions (PNS), a leading US-based managed service organisation which manages more than 3.7 million patient plans across Florida, Texas and Puerto Rico. Chong described the appointment as a 'big win', noting his first-hand understanding of US imaging workflows and duplication challenges. Alonso said the technology could solve everyday challenges for radiologists and patients. 'I see a real pathway to nationwide rollout in the US as we move towards connected, patient-focused care, ' he said. Life Radiology will integrate 3DICOM features such as interoperability between digital patient filing systems, secure image sharing and patient access portals to streamline diagnostic workflows and reduce unnecessary repeat imaging, which remains a significant cost burden on the US healthcare system. Alonso's consulting fees will be settled through the issue of fully paid ordinary Singular shares worth US$27,000 at the end of his six-month engagement, directly aligning his interests with the company's shareholders. Today's appointment builds on a string of strategic milestones for Singular. Two weeks ago, the company inked a US$1.3 million (A$2 million) contract with PNS to roll out an initial 1000 3DICOM MD licences to doctors across Puerto Rico, Florida and Texas. The contract includes a US$500,000 commitment to develop AI imaging models and a centralised image repository, key steps towards the company's plan to address the endemic problem of duplicate imaging in the US. Industry studies estimate unnecessary imaging costs US healthcare up to US$30 billion annually. The scale of Singular's opportunity is underscored by independent research commissioned from Signify Research, estimating a total addressable market of US$19 billion annually for 3DICOM licences among 1.3 million US primary care doctors. To support its ambitious US rollout, Singular Health raised $8 million through a placement of 22.4 million shares at 35 cents each, completed just last week. The raise attracted strong institutional support and saw strategic backers, including PNS, reinforce their confidence in Singular's vision by participating in the placement. The fresh cash leaves the company fully funded for the planned national deployment of 3DICOM and further product development. Quarterly reports further reveal the company's solid operational and financial footing, with more than $5.3 million cash at bank as of the end of March. Recent achievements include the completion of the 3DICOM Gateway, a real-time browser-based tool enabling seamless sharing and access to imaging records, and the appointment of Australian radiologist Dr Ronny Low as technical advisor for the US pilot. Looking ahead, Singular Health is preparing for its first large-scale national rollout across PNS's partner networks, supported by its strategic joint venture between PNS and the Healthcare Outcomes Performance Company (HOPCo), a group operating across more than 30 US states. Singular Health's 3DICOM software, which has US Food and Drug Administration registration for diagnostic use in the US, enables advanced 3D visualisation of medical images, empowering practitioners and patients with clearer insights into imaging data. The company's broader suite of technologies, including its volumetric rendering platform and medical file transfer protocol, aims to eliminate medical imaging silos and reduce costs, patient discomfort and delays in care. As Singular Health sets its sights firmly on transforming the US medical imaging landscape, today's appointment of Alonso represents a clinical endorsement and a significant leap forward in its mission to make healthcare imaging smarter, faster and more accessible across America.

Singular seals US deal to roll out 3D medical imaging platform
Singular Health has added a feather to its cap by securing a US$1.3 million (A$2M) commercial deal with United States healthcare group Provider Network Solutions (PNS). The company has also raised $8 million to bankroll a national rollout of its AI-driven 3D medical imaging platform across the US. 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.
