Medical technology company Singular Health Group (ASX: SHG) has publicly launched its new online DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) viewer and a ChatGPT 3.5 AI integration with semi-automated patient education prompts. This enhances doctors’ analysis of medical imaging. 

The product launch comes just three months after the initial online proof-of-concept. The online viewer replicates all the functionality of the desktop version of 3Dicom Patient, along with the addition of interactive tutorials and annotations.

Singular Health’s Managing Director, Denning Chong, said, “The recent evolution of the 3Dicom software is the technical catalyst for future growth as we open up additional commercial avenues through licensing, easier integration with outputs from AI models, and ‘one-click’ solutions for storage and sharing. 

“This new online viewer retains the spirit of the 3Dicom software, with on-device anonymisation prior to upload, on-device rendering rather than server-based rendering, and numerous other technical innovations that improve accessibility and performance whilst also minimising the usual running costs of cloud-based solutions.”

Singular Health’s 3Dicom software solutions allow patients and practitioners to better visualise, communicate, and understand medical imaging data. 3Dicom MD is cleared for diagnostic use in the United States. In Q3 FY24, the Company undertook a strategic capital raise of $4.1 million at $0.11 per share. It also received the remaining CG1 Ventures placement funds of $850,000 and a strategic investment from world-renowned, leading US technology & blockchain developer and entrepreneur Craig Sellars of $1 million.

3Dicom aims to develop an integrated healthcare ecosystem that unlocks the true value of medical imaging records by enabling universal access, promoting interoperability and improving decision-making through advanced technologies. This new viewer brings a new level of accessibility to Singular Health’s growing customer base, eliminating the need for patients to download desktop applications for Windows and MacOS for improved medical record management.

Following enterprise purchase orders for more than 7,500 3Dicom Patient licenses for the Miami-based 3Dicom Veteran’s Initiative and Roseman University, there has been a focus and priority on the transition from developing new features and functionality to ensuring ease-of-use and scalable deployment of the 3Dicom software. 

Based on feedback from existing customers and to streamline future modules for generative AI and automated segmentation, it was clear that the non-diagnostic 3Dicom Patient and R&D software would need to be migrated to a fully web-based solution. 

Singular Health has leveraged its existing IP and code base, which has accelerated the development of the 3Dicom Online Viewer. Plus, a new approach has been taken to separate the graphics processing functionality from the user interface and package it as a standalone Software Development Kit (SDK). This allows for faster development, the ability to customise the front-end user interface to suit numerous different applications, including iOS and Android mobile applications, and the ability to license the viewer without exposing the Company’s core IP.

The Company is currently in early-stage negotiations with several entities in Europe, Southeast Asia and the USA regarding the licensing of the online viewer.
