"We're seeing Al-powered diagnostic tools enhancing accuracy and efficiency, across multiple sectors"

As the new Group CEO, what is your strategic vision for Advanced MedTech Holdings?

My strategic vision is to build upon our strong foundation and continue our trajectory as a leading global urology company. Our focus is on maintaining sustainable innovation-driven growth through R&D investment, expanding our global footprint with a particular emphasis on the US, source of 60 per cent of our revenue.

Our ultimate goal is to fully leverage our integrated urology platform to serve the needs of our customers. In the immediate term, I will continue to work closely with the leadership team to ensure a smooth transition and embark on global visits to meet with customers and gain deeper insights into the challenges that they face.

What new advancements or innovations can we expect in urology devices?

There are 2 areas where innovation is growing in urology: (1) laser lithotripsy; (2) AI application in urology.

The entire field of laser lithotripsy over the past few years has seen major innovation breakthroughs in (a) disposable URS; and (b) shift from Holmium to Thulium. AMTH has been proud to launch several product innovations in the above areas and continues to do so.
