SOMATIQ at one year
One year down
Exactly one year ago, Vishwanath R S, MD, CIIP and I (Naveen K) started SOMATIQ with a three-member team, a bold vision, and a belief that technology could fundamentally improve radiology.
SOMATIQ is now deployed across 100+ imaging centres across 3 countries and works with some of India's leading healthcare institutions. At the heart of what we are building is AI - bringing greater intelligence to radiology workflows and helping make reporting faster, more consistent, and more clinically meaningful.

The year, in order
It is easy to say "a lot happened". Here is what actually did, roughly in the order it happened. Some of these moments have their own posts, which I have linked where they exist.
| When | What |
|---|---|
| Aug–Sep 2025 | SOMATIQ starts, with a three-member team |
| Late 2025 | Prima Diagnostics in Bengaluru, our first flagship customer, starts on an early version of the platform |
| Dec 2025 | I attend RSNA for the first time (what I learned) |
| Jan 2026 | Public launch, and IRIA 2026 at HITEX, Hyderabad, stall D17. Our standalone reporting product (then RadOne, now the Trinity Reporting Engine) crosses 100+ sign-ups (what radiologists told us) |
| Aug 2026 | 100+ imaging centres across 3 countries |
Underneath that list is a platform that now comes in three forms. The SOMATIQ Unified RIS-PACS is our cloud RIS-PACS with our own browser DICOM viewer, and it covers the whole cycle at a centre: registration, scheduling, billing, acquisition, reporting and report delivery. TelePractice is for teleradiology. And the Trinity Reporting Engine by SOMATIQ is for radiologists who only need reporting.
Not simply another radiology product
Over the past year, we have realised that we are not simply building another radiology product. We are working to bring a new perspective to the ecosystem: one where AI and technology augment radiologists' expertise, reduce everyday workflow friction, and become a meaningful part of how radiology is delivered.
When we launched, I wrote that integration is not a feature, integration is the product (why we built SOMATIQ). A year in, that is still the argument we are making, centre by centre. You can read the long version of that argument in What "AI-native" RIS + PACS actually means.
The people
But the most special part of this journey has been the people.
The team that believed in the idea from day one. The radiologists who challenged us and helped us build better. The customers and healthcare institutions that trusted us while we were still early. Every conversation, every piece of feedback, and every early adoption has shaped SOMATIQ into what it is today.
Prima Diagnostics in Bengaluru, our first flagship customer, is a good example. Dr Gururaj Rao and his radiologists started on an early version of the platform in late 2025, and their feedback shaped much of what we built. Much of what we have written about running a diagnostic chain on one system came from conversations like theirs.
From Vishwanath
When I posted this, Vishwanath replied with three lines. They say what I was trying to say, in fewer words:
Vishwanath's reply
What I'm most proud of is the team we have built and the trust placed in us by radiologists, hospitals and diagnostic centres along the way.
A lot has changed in one year. The ambition has only grown.
Onwards, Naveen and team.
Only getting started
We are deeply grateful for how far we have come. Yet, it genuinely feels like we are only getting started.
The next year is about taking this much further - deeper AI capabilities, a stronger product, wider adoption, and a larger impact across the radiology ecosystem.
One year down. A lot more to build.
What this means for the centres we work with
If you are one of the 100+ centres already on SOMATIQ, the next year should feel like more of what you asked us for, built with you rather than for you. The way we have worked from the start, with radiologists telling us what slows them down and us going back to fix it, is not changing because we are bigger. The voice-controlled worklist is one example of a feature that began as a complaint about clicks.
If you are a centre still deciding, the honest summary of our first year is this: a young company, and a product shaped by working radiologists and by customers who trusted us early.
Grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey so far. Here's to the next chapter.
