What’s included in the deal — and why it matters
A “Full Stack” plus cardiology — the complete enterprise imaging solution
The TidalHealth contract represents a comprehensive deployment of PME’s enterprise imaging capabilities. The four Visage 7 products included are:
- Visage 7 Viewer
- Visage 7 Workflow
- Visage 7 Open Archive
- Visage 7 Cardiology Imaging
Implementation will be fully cloud-based, consistent with PME’s CloudPACS strategy. Planning commences immediately, using Visage’s proven cloud-based implementation process, with go-live targeted for Q1 2027.
Contract snapshot
| Client | Contract Term | Contract Value | Go-Live Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| TidalHealth | 7 years | A$16M | Q1 2027 |
The contract operates on a transaction-based revenue model, meaning revenue is tied to the volume of imaging studies processed. This structure establishes a contracted revenue floor while carrying potential upside should imaging volumes at TidalHealth exceed baseline projections over the term.
Understanding Pro Medicus’ CloudPACS strategy
Traditional radiology departments have long relied on on-premise Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), which store and manage medical images locally on hospital servers. These systems require significant capital investment in hardware, ongoing IT maintenance, and often involve multiple vendors managing separate components. CloudPACS replaces this model by hosting the entire imaging platform in the cloud, reducing infrastructure costs and enabling faster deployment, remote access, and seamless scalability.
The “Full Stack” concept takes this further. Rather than a hospital managing separate vendors for its image viewer, workflow tools, and archive storage, a Full Stack deployment consolidates all three core functions under a single platform. Adding Visage 7 Cardiology Imaging extends this consolidation to speciality imaging, giving a health system like TidalHealth one integrated solution across its entire enterprise.
Dr Sam Hupert, Chief Executive Officer, Pro Medicus
“They join an ever growing list of Visage 7 clients to opt for our fully cloud-based platform, which as a result of our CloudPACS strategy, is becoming the standard in the North American healthcare IT market.”
For investors, the significance is straightforward. As North American health systems seek to reduce vendor complexity and modernise ageing infrastructure, PME’s integrated cloud offering positions the company as a preferred end-to-end provider. The TidalHealth contract is a direct illustration of that trend in practice.

Investment thesis — pipeline strength and the cardiology growth trend
Cardiology imaging as a strategic growth vector
Dr Hupert noted that TidalHealth’s decision to include the cardiology offering reflects an accelerating pattern across the healthcare sector. In his words, it provides TidalHealth with “a truly unified enterprise imaging solution, a trend we see continuing as more and more healthcare enterprises look to consolidate their disparate imaging systems.”
The inclusion of Visage 7 Cardiology Imaging in this contract is notable. Cardiology has historically operated on separate, speciality-specific imaging systems within hospitals. Bringing it under the same platform as radiology viewer, workflow, and archive represents a higher-value engagement for PME and a meaningful step towards full enterprise imaging consolidation for the client.
Pipeline signals ongoing deal flow
Dr Sam Hupert, Chief Executive Officer, Pro Medicus
“Our pipeline remains strong and spans all market segments. There is growing interest in our ‘Full Stack’ solution comprising all three core Visage products – viewer, workflow and archive with the added option of ‘other-ologies’ such as cardiology.”
The forward signals from this announcement are three-fold:
- Pipeline described as strong across all market segments, indicating broad demand beyond any single institution type or geography
- Growing Full Stack adoption, with viewer, workflow, and archive increasingly contracted as a bundled solution rather than individual components
- Cardiology and other specialty “ologies” emerging as meaningful contract add-ons, expanding the revenue potential of each deal
The transaction-based model amplifies these dynamics. As more health systems adopt the Full Stack and process higher volumes of imaging studies across both radiology and cardiology, revenue scales accordingly. Each new contract adds to a growing base of volume-linked revenue, where contracted minimums set the floor and actual utilisation drives the upside.
