Perth medical technology company Lubdub is concentrating on cardiovascular imaging, according to a conversation on the At Close of Business podcast between host Sam Jones and guest Tom Zaunmayr.

Zaunmayr outlined Lubdub’s interest in the cardiovascular imaging space, signalling the company is positioning itself in a technology area that underpins diagnostic cardiology.

Lubdub’s activity highlights continued attention on Australian medtech firms seeking clinical and commercial applications for imaging technologies, particularly those developed outside the major east coast hubs.

In corporate results covered on the podcast, Hancock reported a profit of $1.8 billion for the latest reporting period, a sizeable headline figure that will draw attention from investors and industry watchers.

The result adds to a string of major corporate profits being discussed in Australian business circles and will be analysed for its implications across Hancock’s operations and holdings.

Miner Rio Tinto has agreed to be the anchor tenant for the new EQ tower, providing a major occupant commitment for the development and lending certainty to the project’s commercial prospects.

The episode also included a segment on a Bridgetown winery, bringing a regional business into the conversation alongside larger corporate news and highlighting activity outside metropolitan centres.

Producers of the podcast said At Close of Business will be brought to a close as the team redirects its efforts to an expanded Mark My Words podcast, with new episodes scheduled on Fridays.

The episode mixed company updates, regional business interest and medtech development, reflecting a range of stories that span large listed groups, property commitments and smaller local enterprises.
