Providing universal access to ultrasound
Specialist diagnostic expertise should never be limited by geography
RMI Oceania is transforming how specialist diagnostic care is delivered combining clinical expertise with robotic-enabled technology to bring specialist care closer to communities, support clinicians and strengthen healthcare systems.
Healthcare needs a new model
Healthcare is under increasing pressure to deliver specialist diagnostic care to more people, in more places while supporting the clinicians who make that care possible. Improving access to specialist expertise and supporting the workforce that delivers it have never been more important.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD)
One Australian dies every 12 minutes
Ultrasound plays a critical role in the detection, diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease helping clinicians intervene earlier and improve patient outcomes.
Closing the gap
75% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults under 35 have one or more risk factors for cardiovascular disease while CVD accounts for 25% of deaths.
Improving access to specialist diagnostic care can support earlier detection, reduce health inequities and deliver better outcomes for communities disproportionately affected by cardiovascular disease.
When specialist expertise can reach patients sooner geography becomes less of a barrier to timely diagnosis and care.
A new model for specialist diagnostic care
RMI combines clinical expertise with robotic-enabled technology to create flexible models of care that bring specialist expertise closer to patients and better support the clinicians who deliver it.
Developed through collaboration with clinicians, researchers and healthcare organisations
