Mobile Medical Global: revolutionising the non-invasive medical studies sector

Why should patients travel to hospital for an x-ray when it’s so much better for the x-ray to come to them?

Mobile Medical Global founder David Richards was working as a private hospital radiographer when an elderly woman who’d suffered a fall arrived by ambulance, and was stretchered downstairs in great distress. David realised how much more comfortable she’d have been if she’d been x-rayed at home.

Now Trinidad and Tobago-based Mobile Medical Global is revolutionising medical testing by offering non-invasive studies like x-rays, ultrasounds and ECGs in homes, doctors’ offices, workplaces and care settings.

Benefiting everyone from the elderly, immunosuppressed to the simply time-poor, it reduces patients’ stress. It leads to quicker diagnosis, faster treatment and ultimately better health outcomes, while reducing transport costs and easing the burden on caregivers.

We’re increasingly popular, with study numbers soaring 161% from 1583-4126 between March 2023 and March 2025.

An exciting future for Mobile Medical Global

Trinidad and Tobago has a mixed public/private healthcare system, and people using the public system can have a long wait. On 8-10 November 2024, to mark Radiographers’ Day, we performed 170 free x-rays and ultrasounds on 130 patients, reducing the public waiting list, demonstrating how we’re driven by desire to help people rather than profits.
