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.

Our Technology
Our patented robotic system is controlled remotely and performs comprehensive ultrasound, including the most complex modalities such as echocardiograms (ultrasounds of the heart).
This provides remote communities access to ultrasounds and heavily reduces the risk of physical injury to the sonographer.
24-48hr service for rural patients
(currently 100+ days waiting time)
Earlier detection for chronic ailments like heart disease
No repetitive strain injuries for sonographers
Why Ultrasound is Important
More than 11 million ultrasounds are performed in Australia each year, and are often a patient’s first diagnostic imaging exam. Ultrasounds are low cost, used to examine almost any part of the body and are one of the most important tools for identifying and managing cardiovascular disease.
Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)
CVD is one of Australia’s leading causes of death, with one Australian dying every 12 minutes.
It is a substantial problem for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, accounting for a quarter of all deaths and is the largest contributor to preventable morbidity and mortality.
75% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults aged under 35 have one or more risk factors for CVD.
