Revenue model

Revenue is generated through contracted service agreements with healthcare institutions.

Direct peers

• Fleury: Major Brazilian diagnostic medicine company with extensive imaging and lab services. Comparable to FIDI in target market (hospitals and clinicians) and service line (diagnostic imaging), though for-profit and broader in modality.
• Grupo Hermes Pardini: Brazilian diagnostic medicine company with significant imaging operations and a national footprint. Directly comparable as a Brazilian diagnostic services competitor with overlapping hospital customer base.
• Alliar: Brazilian diagnostic imaging network serving hospitals and clinics. Comparable to FIDI in imaging-focused service model and B2B hospital customer motion.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens Healthineers: Global provider of imaging equipment (MRI, CT, X-ray) and AI-enabled radiology software. Comparable to FIDI in serving hospital radiology departments and as a potential PACS/AI technology supplier or competitor.
