Strategic Partnership Opportunity: Singular Health × HealthEx × Claude for Health
Owning the Imaging Control Plane for AI-Native Healthcare
Imaging is the missing layer
Why Now
HealthEx Discussions
Anchor leadership on why this matters now
Architectural Window
HealthEx is early in medical imaging → architectural window is open
Claude Needs Context
Claude for Health needs safe, governed imaging context
Unique Solution
Singular's MFTP uniquely solves imaging at scale
Strategic Position
Opportunity to become default imaging control plane, not a vendor
Market Context: AI-Native Healthcare Is Fragmented
Frame the problem the partnership solves
The Data Stack Gap
  • Text, labs, and admin data are AI-accessible today
  • Imaging remains siloed, large, risky, and underutilized
  • AI platforms without imaging are incomplete
Imaging: The Missing Layer
Healthcare data stack with Imaging highlighted as the gap
The Strategic Triangle
Who Does What
Clarify non-overlapping roles
Claude for Health
Intelligence & reasoning
HealthEx
Consent, TEFCA aggregation, patient access
Singular Health
Imaging transport, governance, normalization
High adjacency, no overlap
Confirmed Signal from HealthEx: Imaging Is Early
Justify urgency and timing
Just Beginning
HealthEx management confirmed imaging exploration is just beginning
Open Architecture
Architectural decisions are not locked
First Mover Advantage
First mover sets the default
The Imaging Problem
Why This Is Hard
Reinforce why Singular is uniquely positioned
DICOM Complexity
DICOM complexity and variability
Scale Challenge
Large file sizes (GB-scale)
Regulatory Risk
Regulatory and consent risk
Infrastructure Gap
Not suited for standard FHIR pipes

Why Imaging Breaks Standard Data Pipes: Traditional healthcare data infrastructure was not designed for the complexity, size, and regulatory requirements of medical imaging.
Singular's MFTP as the Imaging Control Plane
Position Singular as infrastructure, not feature
Core Capabilities
  • Secure, lossless DICOM transport
  • Policy-based routing and auditability
  • AI-ready metadata extraction
  • Human-in-the-loop governance
