Fixing Healthcare’s Blind Spot: T3D Makes Data Work Smarter
- Written by John Conidi, Managing Director of ASX-listed T3D
Healthcare is drowning in data but starving for insight. Every scan, consultation, and referral generates a wealth of information, yet the system often fails to utilise it effectively. The result is delayed diagnoses, billing errors, and lost opportunities to improve patient outcomes. Unless we can make that data work smarter, healthcare systems will continue to strain under rising demand.
At T3D, we focus on radiology and medical imaging, where the problem is acute. A scan is not just a picture. Beneath it lies metadata: patient history, type of scan, referring practitioner, and clinical notes. By attaching the right data to the right image, we can ensure each case reaches the most appropriate clinician quickly, improving accuracy and outcomes.
We then apply AI to another major bottleneck, billing. Medicare is complex, but by teaching AI to read metadata and assign the correct billing codes, we reduce human error and speed up processing. That means practitioners get paid faster, patients receive information sooner, and the entire process becomes more efficient. The patient rarely sees our work, but its impact is felt in the speed and accuracy of their care.
Looking beyond radiology, the real global opportunity lies in preventative healthcare and longevity. This is not about wellness fads; it is about equipping primary care providers with the data they need to spot problems before they escalate. People already spend a great deal on their appearance. The next wave will be investing in how they feel, how long they live, and how well they age. The foundation of that shift is data. Without reliable data, even the most skilled doctors cannot make accurate diagnoses.
Healthcare is consistent worldwide; the same machines, processes, and protocols are used. What varies is who pays, how much, and why. This creates inefficiencies, but also opportunities for those who can make the data universal, accurate, and actionable.
Our strategy does not stop there. Alongside our healthcare digital data business, T3D maintains a Bitcoin treasury. At first glance, healthcare and Bitcoin may seem worlds apart. They are both about the same thing: value. Healthcare data only creates value when it is structured, scarce, and provides the right information to the right clinician at the right time. Money works the same way. Fiat currencies lose value when more of them are printed. Bitcoin, capped at 21 million, cannot.
For us, Bitcoin is a disciplined way to protect the wealth our operating business generates. Inflation has eroded the value of cash for decades. Bitcoin, by contrast, has been an extraordinary store of value and wealth creator over the past 16 years. By holding a portion of our surplus in Bitcoin, we are aligning our balance sheet strategy with the same principles that guide our healthcare work: clarity, scarcity, and trust.
The milestones ahead are clear. We are focused on top-line revenue, strong cash flow, and growth in our business by acquisition, strategic partnerships and organically. As governments make it easier for patients to access GPs and allied health, every new patient represents another opportunity for our systems to deliver clinical and economic efficiency. Over the medium term, expanding into preventative and longevity-focused healthcare will help extend not just lifespans but also health spans, allowing individuals to live longer and better.
The future will reward companies that can do two things simultaneously: extract meaning from mountains of healthcare data and preserve value in an era of inflation. At T3D, that is exactly the future we are building.
