Singular Health Group Ltd: SHG

ASX Announcement

20 December 2021

Singular Health awarded $99,936 in IMCRC Activate Funding & Update on VisualEyes Project

  • Singular Health to engage in $538,984 research and development (R&D) project to develop a “Surface Scan and Model extension” for its 3Dicom software.

  • The project will unlock new markets for Singular Health’s Scan to Surgery[TM] workflow by adding 3D visualisation of surface scans to 3Dicom’s existing CT/MRI/PET visualisation capabilities to streamline the design of external patient-specific prosthetics, casts and supports.

  • IMCRC will provide $99,936 in cash support through its Activate program over a 9-month period.

  • The Company and Bailey Nelson mutually agree to end joint development of the VisualEyes project, with Singular Health retaining all intellectual property rights to the software.

20 December 2021 – Singular Health Group Ltd (ASX: SHG) (“Singular Health”, or “the Company”) has been successful in applying for $99,936 in Innovative Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (“IMCRC”) Activate funding, which will be combined with “inkind” support from Australia’s peak national science agency, CSIRO, towards an R&D project to develop a Surface Scan to Model extension for the core 3Dicom Surgical software creating “3Dicom Surface”.

The total project has a $538,984 value accounting for cash and in-kind contributions. The program will see each of IMCRC and Singular Health contribute $99,936 in cash towards the project, with the balance provided thought in-kind contributions by the CSIRO and Singular Health.

In addition to developing an Artificial Intelligence Algorithm, CSIRO are also licensing background IP in medical computer aided design capable of future integration into the Company’s 3Dicom software.

Singular Health is focused on commercialising the 3Dicom software as the core platform for the Scan to Surgery[TM] workflow and jointly developing research and commercial opportunities which fit the Company’s vision of delivering better health outcomes.

This Project is further confirmation of the Company’s strong R&D activities and the ability to apply the core 3Dicom software to numerous clinical applications to improve health outcomes and quality of life.

The Company’s focus on collaboratively developing commercial opportunities with existing industry partners for various applications continues to develop extensive channels to market the 3Dicom software, Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, and 3D printing of personalised medical devices including surgical implants.

The project budget is comprised of $199,872 in cash contributions from IMCRC and Singular Health, with $92,000 in-kind staff and non-staff costs from Singular Health and $247,112 in-kind staff and non-staff costs from CSIRO. Non-staff in-kind contributions include the use of specialist equipment, facilities, servers, and other items needed to advance a technical project of this nature.

Thomas Hanly, Singular Health’s Chief Executive Officer, said:

“Once again, Singular Health has engaged with research organisations to develop additional functionality for our core Scan to Surgery[TM] software with a clear commercial outcome. Working with IMCRC and CSIRO will enable us to expand our product offering beyond radiological imaging into LIDAR and photogrammetric external scans which paves the way for the creation of custom prosthetics, casts and much more.”

David Chuter, Chief Executive Officer of the Innovative Manufacturing CRC (IMCRC), said:

“This collaboration will help accelerate new design, software and manufacturing outcomes, with the development of these solutions also leading to better patient outcomes.”

On CSIRO’s involvement, Vu Nyugen, CSIRO Project Lead, commented:

“CSIRO is looking forward to working with Singular Health and the IMCRC to develop software for the individual patient design”.

Update on VisualEyes Project and Intellectual Property

Due to ongoing travel restrictions to Australia’s east coast, pressure on retail industries, and Singular Health’s increased focus on the metaverse and medical 3D printing, a mutual decision has been made between the Company and Bailey Nelson to cease joint collaboration and exclusivity arrangements previously established for the development of the VisualEyes project. Singular Health will pay Bailey Nelson $27,500 to retain the full IP rights to the VisualEyes software which it may use for potential future projects in the optical sector. The Company does not consider the mutual decision to terminate its arrangements with Bailey Nelson to be material to the Company given Singular Health’s primary focus and recent success in the advancement of its metaverse and medical 3D printing operations.

This announcement is authorised for release by the Board of Directors of the Company.
