Why Medtech Giants Are Quietly Paying Up for AI DiagnosticsApril 29, 2026 10:30 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)

ISSUED ON BEHALF OF VENTRIPOINT DIAGNOSTICS LTD.VANCOUVER, BC, April 29, 2026 /CNW/ -- USANewsGroup.com News Commentary – There's a quiet bidding war underway for AI diagnostics, and the price keeps climbing. The global AI in medical imaging market is on track to hit $2.20 billion in 2026, with a 34.8% growth rate baked in through 2033[1]. Q1 2026 healthcare M&A activity tells the same story: capital is rotating into AI-enabled platforms that already carry regulatory clearance, recurring revenue, and real clinical data behind them[2]. That description fits a short list of names worth knowing right now: VentriPoint Diagnostics (TSXV: VPT) (OTCPK: VPTDF), Medtronic (NYSE: MDT), Danaher (NYSE: DHR), Profound Medical (NASDAQ: PROF), and DexCom (NASDAQ: DXCM).







Hospitals are voting with their wallets too. A fresh C-suite survey shows 57% now rank AI clinical solutions as their top technology priority for 2026 to 2027, up from just 19% in 2023[3]. The FDA has made it clear that real-world clinical evidence is now central to clearing AI software, which is exactly why institutional buyers are paying a clinical validation premium for platforms that already have multi-site data behind them[4].VentriPoint Diagnostics (TSXV: VPT) (OTCPK: VPTDF) just picked up a Gold Medal at the 2026 Edison Awards for its AI-powered cardiac imaging platform, VMS+™ 4.0. The Edison Awards are widely considered one of the most prestigious innovation prizes in the world, often called "the Oscars of Innovation," and past Gold winners include Abbott, Medtronic, and Boston Scientific. For a small-cap medtech company out of Toronto, that is serious company to keep.The technology behind the award takes a standard 2D ultrasound scan and converts it into a detailed 3D model of the heart. The company says the results are comparable to a cardiac MRI, but without the million-dollar machine or the months-long wait list. VMS+™ 4.0 is already deployed in hospitals across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe, which is a key reason the Edison judges took notice. Their evaluation process places heavy weight on technologies that have moved past the pilot stage and into real clinical use.That momentum is showing up in VentriPoint's commercial pipeline. The company recently announced a collaboration with the Health Division of the Montecristo Group to roll out VMS+™ across Costa Rica's public and private hospital networks. The Montecristo Group's Hospital Metropolitano also has an existing relationship with Sanford Health, one of the largest healthcare systems in the United States. VentriPoint also recently partnered with First Light Health, an Indigenous-owned medical services company, to bring cardiac diagnostics to Indigenous and remote communities across Canada through a hub-and-spoke model. That program builds on an earlier partnership with the Nisga'a Valley Health Authority in northern BC. South of the border, the company signed a commercial agreement with LG Consulting Solutions targeting cardiac centres in Northern California."Being awarded Gold affirms that VMS™ 4.0 has reached that threshold, and reinforces our belief that our platform has significant room to grow as adoption accelerates and new applications emerge," said Hugh MacNaught, CEO of VentriPoint.VentriPoint holds regulatory approvals in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Its VMS+™ platform is vendor-agnostic, meaning it works with ultrasound equipment from any manufacturer, and is built on more than a decade of proprietary Knowledge Based Reconstruction technology. The core value proposition is MRI-grade cardiac imaging at a fraction of the cost, deployable anywhere a standard ultrasound machine already sits. With a growing global footprint, a validated technology platform, and independent recognition from one of the world's top innovation bodies, VentriPoint is positioning itself as a name to watch in precision health.CONTINUED… Read this and more news for VentriPoint Diagnostics at:  https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/11/21/the-mri-grade-disruption-hiding-in-plain-sight-why-the-smart-money-is-watching-ventripointOther industry developments and happenings in the market include:Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) completed its acquisition of CathWorks, a privately held medical device company focused on coronary artery disease diagnosis and treatment, for $585 million with potential additional earn-out payments. The deal follows a 2022 co-promotion agreement and brings the CathWorks FFRangio System, an AI-powered, drug-free, wire-free coronary assessment platform, into Medtronic's interventional cardiology portfolio."The acquisition of CathWorks significantly enhances Medtronic's interventional cardiology portfolio with an innovative system that empowers physicians with data-driven insights for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease," said Jason Weidman, senior vice president and president of the Coronary & Renal Denervation business, part of the Cardiovascular Portfolio at Medtronic. "Through our global footprint, welcoming CathWorks to Medtronic will expand access to the transformative FFRangio technology for our customers and their patients worldwide."The FFRangio System recently demonstrated non-inferiority to wire-based physiology in the ALL-RISE randomized control trial, which enrolled more than 1,900 patients across 59 sites globally. The acquisition is expected to be immaterial to Medtronic's fiscal year 2027 earnings and neutral to accretive thereafter, continuing the company's strategy of targeted tuck-in acquisitions to strengthen its core franchises.Danaher (NYSE: DHR) reported first quarter 2026 results showing revenues of $6.0 billion, up 3.5% year-over-year, with non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS growing 9.5% to $2.06. Operating cash flow reached $1.3 billion, supported by strength in Bioprocessing and better-than-expected Life Sciences performance."Our team executed well in the first quarter, which enabled us to accelerate innovation, drive productivity gains, and deliver nearly 10% adjusted EPS growth," said Rainer M. Blair, President and CEO of Danaher. "On the top line, we continued on a steady recovery path with strength in Bioprocessing and better-than-expected performance in Life Sciences largely offsetting the impact of a lighter-than-typical Q1 respiratory season at Cepheid."Danaher raised its full year 2026 adjusted diluted EPS guidance to $8.35 to $8.55, up from prior guidance of $8.35 to $8.50, and expects full year core revenue growth of 3% to 6%. The company also announced its intention to acquire Masimo Corporation, a provider of pulse oximetry and patient monitoring solutions, citing opportunities to enhance performance through the Danaher Business System and its global scale.Profound Medical (NASDAQ: PROF) is highlighting its TULSA-PRO system across seven presentations at the 2026 Society of Interventional Radiology Annual Scientific Meeting in Toronto, April 11-15. The commercial-stage medical device company's AI-powered, MRI-guided TULSA Procedure treats prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia without incisions, eliminating procedural blood loss and overnight hospital stays while minimizing side effects such as urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction."Our significant presence at SIR 2026 comes at an opportune time as leading iMRI procedures, including MRI-guided biopsy and TULSA, are poised to transform how unmet medical needs across the prostate disease spectrum are being addressed," said Arun Menawat, CEO and Chairman of Profound Medical. "Awareness and acceptance of the TULSA Procedure's strong clinical profile, as well as its potential to become the next mainstream treatment modality for most men with prostate disease, is growing."Presentations will feature data from the Level 1 post-market CAPTAIN randomized controlled trial comparing TULSA against robotic prostatectomy for intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Profound Medical also commercializes Sonalleve, an MRI-guided therapy addressing bone metastases pain palliation, uterine fibroids, and adenomyosis, with its technologies approved across major global markets including the United States, Europe, and Canada.DexCom (NASDAQ: DXCM) is showcasing new clinical evidence at the 19th annual Advanced Technologies and Treatments for Diabetes Conference in Barcelona, reinforcing the role of continuous glucose monitoring across all diabetes types. A multi-center primary care registry study showed that after one year of Dexcom G7 use, people with Type 2 diabetes not on insulin therapy saw significant improvements in A1C and weight management, while claims data linked Dexcom CGM initiation to meaningful reductions in DKA-related hospitalizations and emergency room visits in both children and adults with Type 1 diabetes."There is no better global stage than ATTD to showcase how we're shaping the future of glucose biosensing around the world," said Jake Leach, president and chief executive officer at DexCom. "The data presented at ATTD reinforces the need for Dexcom CGM to become the standard of care for all people with Type 2 diabetes, including those not using insulin."Beyond the clinical data, DexCom is presenting its near- and long-term product roadmap, including upcoming features for Dexcom G7, Dexcom G7 15 Day, and Stelo, its health and wellness offering. The company recently launched Dexcom G7 15 Day in the U.S. and continues expanding its Dexcom Academy HCP education platform across Europe and the Middle East.Further Reading: https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/11/21/the-mri-grade-disruption-hiding-in-plain-sight-why-the-smart-money-is-watching-ventripointCONTACT:

Original: Why Medtech Giants Are Quietly Paying Up for AI Diagnostics

They finally raised cash with yesterday''s announcement. It was obvious this was coming so I think it was holding down the stock. Maybe between that and insurance kicking in a move up will begin.

In conclusion, Leede Financial's maintenance of its Buy rating and US$18 price target reflects confidence in Profound Medical's growth potential following the favorable reimbursement update. The share price at the time of the report of US$7.35 represents a potential return of approximately 145% to the analyst's target price, highlighting the significant upside potential as the company advances its commercialization efforts.

Lake Street starts Profound Medical at Buy; PT $16.50

Comparing TULSA to robotic radical prostatectomy (RP), analyst Rahul Sarugaser, Ph.D., said, “We find that the economics for both hospitals and physicians are about equivalent. So, with this even playing field, we expect TULSA’s adoption to be driven based on its favorable safety profile relative to RP.”

Dr. Sarugaser added that, supported by head-to-head TULSA versus RP data from the CAPTAIN trial in mid-2025, TULSA should begin establishing itself as standard-of-care treatment for all stages of localized prostate disease (i.e. from low-, intermediate-, or high-risk prostate cancer; to hybrid patients suffering from both prostate cancer and BPH; to men with BPH only; and also, to patients requiring salvage therapy for radio-recurrent localized prostate cancer). “As such, we reiterate our Strong Buy rating.”

Anyone still here and in this? The chart is finally shaping up. News today on CPT reimbursement rate plus biotech may have finally turned up with the possibility of rate cuts.

TORONTO, Feb. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Profound Medical Corp. (NASDAQ:PROF; TSX:PRN) (“Profound” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets customizable, incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue, will announce its fourth quarter and full year 2023 financial results after market close on Thursday, March 7, 2024.

Reminds me of the old Remingtoncommercial where the guy says he was so impressed with their electric razor he bought the company. Looks like DSKE was just bought out in December which may have freed up a lot of cash for him. Anyway nice vote of confidence. We have the best mousetrap, now we just need insurance coverage to kick in next year and demand to go way up.

I thought this was interesting:
Satisfied TULSA prostate cancer procedure patient discloses 5.2% stake in Profound Medical
January 12, 2024
Profound Medical
In a 13G filed with the SEC today, accomplished businessman and founder of namesake transportation company Daseke (NADAQ:DSKE), Don Daseke, disclosed he has taken a 5.2% ownership stake in Profound Medical (NASDAQ:PROF).

yeah it's working, just no news here for a while. I'm not expecting sales to ramp up until 2025 . Sometime between now and then the stock should start moving in anticipation.

Test

The payment ratio has not been determined. Obviously, this information will be soon and more specific because of the January start. Arun, in the question he fielded during the Investor's Day, alluded to it as the same percentage as any other established Medicare procedure.

Profound Medical Corp. (NASDAQ:PROF; TSX:PRN) (“Profound” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets customizable, incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue, announced today that, pursuant to the 2024 Final Rule published yesterday by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), use of HCPCS C code, C9734, previously established for the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS), has been extended for use in the Ambulatory Surgical Center (“ASC”) setting, and that MRI-Monitored Transurethral Ultrasound Ablation (“TULSA”) of prostate tissue, performed using Profound’s TULSA-PRO® system, has been assigned device-intensive status. The ASC extension will go into effect on January 1, 2024.

I don't understand it either. Poorly written PR. Why not just say what percent of procedures now get covered and how much CMS pays?

So they finally got this approval. But I've never quite understood how it can be used. Aren't the ASC's more for small surgeries? tulsa needs an mri machine.

Profound Medical Announces CMS Extension of Temporary ‘Code’ for TULSA to ASC Setting

I agree on the Cleveland Clinic deal. However I am growing impatient with the slow growth. No mention of the C code and no analyst even asked about it. Only 3 installations for the qtr so up to 41. They need to do 3 a month this qtr to meet their goal of 50 by year end.

Looks like the initial reaction is the stock is up anyway. I'm not selling any. Being patient is hard but I know we have the better mousetrap.

Nothing was mentioned about the temporary C-code. However, the Master Agreement with Cleveland Clinic and their 20 sites is impressive.

I hope they address the C code issue that there has been no decision on.

Profound Medical to Release Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results on November 2 – Conference Call to Follow

Profound just posted the event on their website: Investors/Webcasts/Profound Medical 2023.......

Thanks James. I believe Arun also described it as, "a work in progress."

To be clear Arun previously suggested final decision could go either way…

The CMS was to publish their proposed remarks this summer and finalize them by October. I don’t know what was published but Arun suggested final decision could go either way. New c-code would be effective Jan 2024 which would help bridge the gap until CPT in Jan 2025.

I have not yet listened to Friday’s event.

Profound Medical 2023 Virtual Analyst & Investor Day-This event was held this last Friday. The agenda showed a Q&A session at the end of their presentation. I was not able to find a transcript for that moment. Did anyone experience this event, and if so, was there any hint of the C-Code?

Gov funding to Nov 15 is helpful because otherwise C code decision would have been delayed

Profound Medical Receives U.S. FDA 510(k) Clearance for TULSA-PRO® Thermal Boost
The first of the TULSA AI modules, Thermal Boost enables predictable, customized ablation at the prostate capsule

TORONTO, Sept. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Profound Medical Corp. (NASDAQ:PROF; TSX:PRN) (“Profound” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets customizable, incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue, today announced that it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA) for the Company’s Thermal Boost module for use in conjunction with TULSA-PRO®.

TULSA-PRO® enables surgeons to ablate whole- or partial-gland prostate tissue in patients with low-, intermediate-, or high-risk prostate cancer; with benign prostatic hyperplasia (“BPH”); as well as those prostate cancer patients on active surveillance seeking treatment of their cancer and relief from their symptoms of BPH. Profound’s data indicates that, in a commercial setting, approximately 60% of the patients being treated with TULSA require whole gland ablation, whereas the remaining 40% receive partial gland ablation. In addition, TULSA surgeons are treating prostates of various shapes and sizes, ranging from prostate volumes of less than 20cc to greater than 250cc, confirming TULSA-PRO® as one of the most versatile technologies currently available for the treatment of prostate disease.

Recognizing that the TULSA patient population consists of a wide variety of prostate disease states, as well as prostate shapes and sizes, the Company is developing a novel set of software modules that will work in conjunction with TULSA-PRO® to further enable treating such variety with further customizability, ease of use, and higher confidence in clinical outcomes. Profound plans to market these new clinically relevant modules under the name brand ‘TULSA AI’.

Thermal Boost, Profound’s first FDA-cleared TULSA AI module, enables surgeons to temporarily increase the ablation target temperature in prostate regions where advanced stage cancer might reside, further increasing their confidence that aggressive cancer cells have been ablated. The Thermal Boost module is already CE-Marked and is being used in up to 50% of the TULSA patients being treated in Europe. Based on a recent TULSA-PRO® survey, European surgeons indicated that Thermal Boost resulted in improved treatment outcomes in 88% of their prostate cancer cases.

“The Thermal Boost feature is a significant development of the TULSA technology,” said Dr. Mikael Anttinen, Urologic Oncologist at Turku University Hospital in Finland. “It opens an important degree of freedom for the surgeon, allowing for controlled increased thermal dose to be delivered to selected regions of the treatment plan. Achieving complete thermal coverage is critical to successful prostate disease treatment, so being able to customize ablation temperature in real time has improved treatment efficacy as well as workflow efficiency. The Thermal Boost feature has allowed us to expand our confidence in patient selection, for example to include patients with MRI-visible lesions bulging the prostate capsule, and other higher risk features.”

Arun Menawat, PhD, Profound’s CEO and Chairman, commented, “We believe that the TULSA technology can be used to treat up to 600,000 patients per year in the United States, and based on the utilization data from Europe, Thermal Boost may have an application in the majority of late-stage disease cases. In addition, the feedback from European surgeons using the module indicates that Thermal Boost could significantly increase both the ease and speed of treatment in a certain subset of the patient population.”

Profound is continuing to develop additional TULSA AI modules, including one that will enable the creation of an AI-driven automated treatment plan, which will be based on a database of successful physician-created treatment designs. The Company is working with the FDA on a pathway to achieve the Agency’s clearance for this module.

Seeking Alpha article

Profound Medical (NASDAQ:PROF) soared on Monday as investment bank Raymond James raised its rating on the medical device company to Strong Buy from Outperform and maintained a price target of $20.00.

PROF traded 18.63% higher at $9.49 in afternoon trading.

Drawing parallels with PROCEPT BioRobotics (PRCT), Raymond James said that PRCT's Current Procedural Terminology (CPT)-driven revenue trajectory portends a revenue inflection for PROF in 2025 once its new CPT reimbursement codes come into force.

"We expect this revenue inflection to begin pricing-in to the stock in 1H24, so are raising our rating to Strong Buy," said analysts at Raymond James.

PROCEPT Biorobotics, which quadrupled its revenue with CPT-1 reimbursement commencing ~Jan. 2021, was noted by Raymond James to have its reimbursement and sales path highly predictive of Profound Medical.

The investment bank also expected CPT -1 reimbursement to drive Profound Medical's 2025 revenue to about $40 million.

Profound Medical has fallen 14.12% since the start of the year but has gained about 80.76% on a 12-month reading. PROF is rated Buy by SA analysts and Wall Street but is marked Hold by the Seeking Alpha Quant rating system.

Profound Medical: TULSA-PRO Now Selling, Recurring Revenues Up 43%
Profound Medical announces $30M equity offering

Small float and thinly traded can make this one move big on any news. Up 1.39 a minute ago.

Wow it’s really taking off now…

Raymond James upgraded to strong buy. Still looking for the report

Agreed. Just one day but still good to see…

Price action pretty good today after the ATM announced last night. Right now the stock is up for the day after a gap down. Looks to me like the drift lower was in anticipation of a dilution and hopefully now that it's in the past we can move up again.

I'm hoping it holds 9.50. Unfortunately there is probably no news for a while. C code now delayed until October and does not sound like a sure thing. On the bear side there could be a dilution at any time. The last time they sold stock the stock price went up but we can't count on that happening again.

I don't want to see it drop below $9.00, but if it does I will add to my position.

Thank you James, I appreciate the update.

Thank you Hayfarmer, maybe that's why RJ downgraded the stock because he doesn't expect the C code until October or not at all.

I listened to the call. No talk of raise. Generally a positive call although it’s a tough market right now so I would not be surprised if stock goes down tomorrow. But in the grand scheme that does not matter at all. The stock is so thinly traded.

Arun will not rush things and he is very cautious to not over promise. We need to just wait here. There will be further volatility, certainly.

I had to go after the first analyst from RJ. It came out that the C code news may not come until October now. They are in continuing discussions with medicare. They think they have a good case to get it and it an easy change for medicare but medicare could decide since they will have CPT codes in 2025 it's not worth the effort.

They have 38 installations now and still expect 50 by year end and 75 by end of 2024. They expect revenue growth to continue to accelerate and felt they are meeting all the goals they have set. They said there would be some capital sales in EU in 2nd half, or maybe it was in Japan.

When I got off there was no discussion of a raise but it could have happened later.

Overall a very positive call for the part I heard.

I was not able to listen to the conference call. What was the Q&A like?

recurring sales of consumables is pretty good, I think it was 38% rise and they expect that to continue or accelerate from here. Bad news is only 5 quarters of cash left so a raise or debts likely in the next 6 months. No mention of the C code

Back to back good days before the ER. I hope this bodes well for the rest of the week. By the way I picked up some CRMD last week.

They sure did. BTW we are back above 200 day simple moving avg

I didn't think it was you, someone made a bad mistake.

Wasn't me.Yesterday much of gain lost but the volume was on the buy side.

Who bought 304 shares pre-market at $11.54?

Thank you. This will be an interesting week…

Welcome to the board James! It's nice to have another person to get their insight on what's happening with the company. I agree with a lot of what you said in your post. I hope we get some good news this week!
