Adecision from the early days in establishing Pro Medicus has stood the healthcare imaging software company – and its share price – in good stead as interest rates have soared over the past 12 months.

Pro Medicus co-founder and chief executive Sam Hupert says the company, which was established in 1983, has never borrowed, managing to finance a “wildly expensive” software development project in the 1980s through a deal with Digital Equipment Corp, which at the time was the second-biggest computer company in the world behind IBM.
