What Zed Technologies does

Zed Technologies is a Melbourne-headquartered, private healthcare technology company founded in 2012 that operates a cloud-based medical image sharing platform. Its core product, the Zed Link platform, ingests, stores, and distributes diagnostic imaging studies and reports sourced from PACS systems and CD-ROMs, and serves three user groups: radiology providers and imaging facilities (the primary enterprise customers), referring clinicians such as GPs and specialists, and patients. The product portfolio is organized as a platform-plus-modules architecture: Zed Doctor delivers fast, secure image sharing for clinical users; Zed Patient provides portable image access to consumers via iOS and Android mobile applications; and Zed GP Messenger is an add-on module that embeds one-click image access into GP practice management systems. Zed generates revenue through an enterprise B2B motion, selling direct to radiology providers and hospitals via a consultative sales process with quote-based pricing ('Request a demo' CTAs) and multi-year regional offices supporting Australia, Southeast Asia, and Europe. In 2022, the company was acquired by boutique Medtech-focused private equity firm Acclivis Group, and in mid-2024 co-founder Ronald Li transitioned from CTO to CEO following the retirement of co-founder Ross Wright, with Kimber Rothwell appointed as Chief Commercial Officer to drive enterprise growth. The platform currently processes 15 million medical imaging studies annually and is described as growing.

Core offering

Zed Technologies provides a cloud-based medical image sharing platform called Zed Link that ingests, stores, and shares diagnostic images and reports between radiology providers, doctors, and patients. Built on the single Zed Link base technology, the company offers purpose-built solutions for clinicians (Zed Doctor) and patients (Zed Patient), with integration into PACS systems and GP practice management software to replace outdated CD-ROM and X-ray film distribution.

Product overview

Zed Technologies offers a platform-plus-modules architecture built on the Zed Link base technology. The core portfolio consists of Zed Doctor (for doctors/clinical users) and Zed Patient (for patients), both powered by Zed Link. Zed GP Messenger is an add-on module for Zed Doctor that enhances GP integration with practice management systems. All solutions enable secure medical image sharing, storage, and viewing across the healthcare ecosystem.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Optum (UnitedHealth Group): Optum, the health services arm of UnitedHealth Group, acquired Change Healthcare and offers image exchange as part of a broad clinical data exchange and analytics platform. It operates at vastly larger scale than Zed but competes for the same radiology image-sharing budget.
• Agfa HealthCare: Agfa HealthCare delivers enterprise imaging solutions spanning PACS, VNA, and image exchange across hospital systems. Comparable to Zed in the image exchange use case but operating at much broader scale across the imaging IT stack.
• Carestream Health: Carestream provides a broad portfolio of medical imaging solutions including PACS and image sharing as part of its enterprise imaging suite. It competes in the same radiology-provider customer base as Zed but as a full-suite incumbent rather than a focused exchange platform.
• Philips HealthSuite / Imaging: Philips operates a global imaging business that includes image-sharing and interoperability capabilities via its Philips HealthSuite platform and acquired LifeImage assets. It is an incumbent supplier to many of the same hospital radiology departments Zed targets.

Direct peers

• Sectra: Sectra provides enterprise imaging IT solutions, including image exchange capabilities integrated with its PACS/VNA portfolio. Comparable to Zed at the medical imaging interoperability layer, especially for hospitals seeking image exchange alongside a broader imaging archive.
• Ambra Health (Intelerad): Ambra Health, now part of Intelerad, operates a cloud-based medical imaging exchange platform enabling image sharing among physicians, hospitals, and patients. It competes head-to-head with Zed Link in providing secure, web-based image exchange for radiology providers and downstream referrers.
• Mach7 Technologies: Mach7 Technologies offers a medical imaging data management platform including VNA, image exchange, and EHR interoperability. Its image-sharing capabilities overlap directly with Zed Link, and it serves similar hospital and radiology provider customers.
• LifeImage (Philips): LifeImage, acquired by Philips, provides medical image exchange networks facilitating image sharing between hospitals, physicians, and patients. It is a direct competitor to Zed in the 'replace the CD' workflow Zed targets with Zed Link and Zed Patient.
• Nuance/Microsoft PowerShare: Microsoft PowerShare is a cloud-based medical image-sharing network that lets healthcare organizations, referrers, and patients exchange DICOM imaging studies. It is the closest direct competitor to Zed Link, sharing the same core use case of replacing CD-based image distribution across a multi-tenant exchange.

Emerging players

• Dicom Systems: Dicom Systems/Dicom Grid provides cloud-based medical imaging exchange and routing, comparable to Zed's image-sharing focus but with relatively narrower reach. It represents emerging competition in the same niche Zed serves.
