Use of Funds

Funds raised from the Placement will be used to bring forward the development of target markets, accelerate research and development and for general working capital purposes.

The Company intends to capitalise on the extensive distribution network and client base it has built in Latin America and speed up its campaign to break into the lucrative US market with a RIS PACS market expected to reach approximately US$2.5b in 2027. After announcing its first Australian customer, the Company is also in an ideal position to benefit from the expertise and reach of some of its stakeholders including Director, Dr Doug Lingard.

The strength of the Company’s Latin America business is reflected in its strong business pipeline and remains a core focus for income generation while new markets develop.

In order to ensure that its HIRUKO suite of products remain at the forefront of medical imaging technology, the Company will continue to expand its range of cutting-edge AI tools and increase penetration of its cardiology and pathology modules into existing and new customers. For the 4[th] year in a row, the growth of AI and Machine Learning was voted the Most Significant News Event in “Radiology” (20[th] annual AuntMinnie.com Awards , the most respected web community for medical imaging professionals worldwide).
