Commercial rollout with I-MED

4DMedical sealed its commercial arrangement with Australia's largest diagnostic imaging provider with its first commercial respiratory scan at I-MED Radiology Network (I-MED)'s clinic in Berwick, Melbourne in December. This arrangement was secured following the successful completion of 4DMedical's XV Lung Ventilation Analysis Software (XV LVAS™) clinical pilot program with I-MED during the quarter ended 31 December 2021.

I-MED is Australia's largest outsourced provider of radiology, with more than 200 clinics nationwide, offering a range of diagnostic imaging services to private and public hospitals. The commencement of this commercial arrangement follows the successful completion of comprehensive pilot programs conducted at multiple clinical locations by 4DMedical in collaboration with I-MED.

As announced in December 2021, 4DMedical's state-of-the-art respiratory technology is available to general practitioners, specialists and their patients based in and around the Casey region of Victoria, Australia, on a pay-per-scan basis. Patients referred to I-MED's imaging clinic in Berwick can access 4DMedical's unique XV Technology which provides rich, quantitative information to medical practitioners enabling more appropriate treatment plans.

As foreshadowed, 4DMedical's XV LVAS software was also successfully installed at I-MED's Brisbane and Wagga Wagga sites in early January 2022, allowing general practitioners, specialists, and their patients in these areas to begin to benefit from 4DMedical's groundbreaking technology.

The Company continues to look to rapidly expand to selected locations across I-MED's nationwide network of clinics.

Clinical trial updates

Clinical trials remain a fundamental pillar of the Company's commercialisation plan. The Company continues to make strong progress with these clinical trials, and we are pleased that imaging is complete in the Johns Hopkins COPD trial. Results from these trials will undergo analysis with results being disseminated via scientific conferences and peer reviewed journal publications.

Commercial pilot progress & updates

In addition to the commercial rollout with I-MED, 4DMedical continued to make progress with commercial pilots in the United States during the quarter. The Company has a strong near-term commercialisation pipeline in the U.S. market, particularly within the large and important Veterans Health Administration (VHA) healthcare system.

The VHA healthcare system represents the largest integrated healthcare system in the U.S., providing life-long care and services to eligible military veterans and their families. The US$250B p.a. VHA operates 1,255 healthcare facilities, including 170 medical centres and 1,074 outpatient clinics, offering a variety of care to over 9 million veterans enrolled in the VHA healthcare program. As announced last year, 4DMedical has won the right to paid contracts in the VHA without the need for further reimbursement.

XVD Generation One scanner

4DMedical's vision to transform medical imaging has evolved through significant progress with development of the prototype XVD scanner at the Company's Advanced Manufacturing Facility in Port Melbourne. This is the world's only dedicated lung scanner integrating software and hardware in one platform.

Powering up this first scanner in January 2022 validated its systems and functions, representing significant progress towards obligations to the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) against $28.9 million of funding from the Australian Government's Department of Health.

4DMedical holds exclusive rights to commercialise XVD scanners worldwide and will receive

100 percent of revenue from hardware sales, in addition to software revenue from SaaS-enabled scanning operations using these scanners.

Contract with Novartis

The Company has previously announced that it had signed its first pharmaceutical-focused contract with international pharmaceutical giant Novartis for the commercial use of XV LVAS. The clinical program with Novartis has delivered its first milestone with the successful enrolment of the trial subjects. While the contract is not material in terms of revenue, the Company has invoiced Novartis for the milestone achievement, continues to build on this relationship, and looks to commercialise other opportunities in the lucrative pharmaceutical space.
