Pro Medicus Limited [ASX:PME] has announced a landmark A$20 million, five-year contract with University of Iowa Health Care (UI Health Care), marking a significant expansion of its presence in the U.S. healthcare technology market. The agreement will see the full deployment of the Visage 7 Enterprise Imaging Platform across UI Health Care’s facilities.

Under the deal, Pro Medicus will implement its flagship Visage 7 platform—comprising the Visage 7 Viewer, Visage 7 Workflow, and Visage 7 Open Archive. These tools are designed to streamline medical imaging processes by enhancing speed, diagnostic precision, and accessibility for healthcare professionals. The platform will serve as a replacement for UI Health Care’s existing legacy PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) archive, and will be integrated directly into the institution’s electronic health record (EHR) system.

Implementation of the platform will commence immediately, with the target go-live date scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025. The move is expected to significantly improve imaging efficiency and accessibility for clinicians and patients alike across the state of Iowa.

Commenting on the partnership, Dr Sam Hupert, CEO of Pro Medicus, expressed his enthusiasm: “University of Iowa Health Care is a highly respected healthcare institution that takes great pride in the comprehensive care they deliver to all Iowans. They join a long list of Visage 7 clients to opt for a fully cloud-based solution, which, as a result of our CloudPACS strategy, is becoming the standard in the North American healthcare IT market.”

The University of Iowa Health Care system is renowned for its integrated academic medical center and commitment to research-driven, patient-centered care.
