Singular Health Group (ASX: SHG) has unveiled its high-tech “3Dicom” digital imaging viewer that leverages interactive AI technology to help patients get a more detailed understanding of their medical issues as they grind through the often-difficult treatment process.
The online viewer, which complements the company’s existing “3Dicom” software, guides patients through interactive tutorials and provides semi-automated education prompts while they are viewing their personal 2D and 3D medical scans.
Management says the viewer brings a greater level of accessibility to the growing customer base for its 3Dicom software. A demonstration of the remarkable technology can be found here: https://playground.3cr.singular.health/?demoType=Patient.
Singular’s 3Dicom device allows practitioners such as dentists, surgeons and radiologists to convert conventional 2D MRI, CT and PET scans into immersive 3D images. The change provides a clearer insight into a patient’s medical problems and enables better surgical planning.
The product comes in three distinct categories – 3Dicom MD is used by medical practitioners for diagnosis and treatment, 3Dicom Patient allows patients to store medical records and works in conjunction with practitioners using the 3Dicom MD software, while 3Dicom R&D is primarily used as a learning and teaching aid in education facilities, including universities, around the world.
Since orders of more than 7500 3Dicom Patient licenses from United States-based customers at the start of the year, the company has focused on ensuring ease-of-use and scalable deployment of its software, rather than new features and functionality.
Based on customer feedback, management says it became obvious that its non-diagnostic 3Dicom Patient and R&D software offerings needed to be converted to more accessible web-based solutions. The new viewer eliminates the need for patients to download desktop applications for Windows and MacOS for improved medical record management.
The company says the viewer allows for faster development and the ability to customise the front-end user interface to suit different applications, including iOS and Android mobile devices, in addition to the ability to license the product without exposing Singular’s core intellectual property. It also permits peer-to-peer sharing of information and cloud storage.
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.

Chong says the viewer retains the “spirit” of the company’s 3Dicom software with technical innovations that improve accessibility and performance, while also minimising the usual running costs of cloud-based solutions.
Singular has been busy with some big moves in the United States in recent months, including the receipt of a binding purchase order for its patented 3Dicom technology from Las Vegas-based Roseman University in Nevada. The US$100,000 (AU$152,000) binding purchase order is for a two-year period for 50 of the company’s 3Dicom R&D licenses and 5000 of its 3Dicom Patient licenses for college students and patients treated at the university’s medical school. Roseman is the first US college to adopt the 3Dicom R&D software as a medical education tool in a market forecast to be worth some US$17.6 billion (AU$26.8 billion) by 2027.
Earlier this year, Singular also revealed it had locked in its first enterprise order for 3Dicom in the US, with 5000 licenses purchased by Techworks 4 Good on behalf of American veterans. It will allow veterans to upload and share medical records from their Patient account through online, desktop and mobile applications, greatly improving accessibility, portability and continuity of care.
The company says it is currently in early-stage negotiations with entities in Europe, South East Asia and the US to license the online viewer.
