Galgo Medical

What Galgo Medical does

Galgo Medical SL is a Barcelona-based medical imaging software company incorporated in July 2013 as a spin-off from the Department of Information Technologies (DTIC) at Universitat Pompeu Fabra. The company develops imaging post-processing software for clinical decision support and surgical planning across three narrow medical verticals: stereotactic neurosurgery (StereoDive), cardiac electrophysiology (ADAS3D), and osteoporosis/bone disease diagnostics (3D-SHAPER). Each product is operated through a separate spin-off subsidiary entity — Adas3D Medical SL and 3D-SHAPER Medical SL are independent companies, while StereoDive is structured as an investigational product of the parent. The underlying technology converts 2D medical imaging data (notably DXA scans) into 3D patient-specific models using proprietary reconstruction algorithms developed through 7+ years of academic research at UPF.

The company's revenue model relies on enterprise B2B licensing of medical imaging software to healthcare professionals and medical institutions, supplemented by professional services for implementation, training, and support. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales through password-protected IFU portals and clinical institution partnerships. Customers are concentrated in EMEA/Spain with no disclosed international commercial accounts. Marketing channels are limited to a corporate website, LinkedIn, Twitter, and medical industry event participation — there is no evidence of broad digital marketing or distribution partnerships. R&D activity is sustained through a continuous stream of Spanish government grants (CDTI, MINECO, Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, ICEX Next, ENISA, Generalitat de Catalunya) and European programs (Horizon 2020, Eurostars), with only one disclosed institutional equity raise ($1.07M from Inveready in 2015).

The leadership team consists primarily of academic co-founders from UPF — Antoni Riu (CEO), Luis Serra (President of the Board), Ludovic Humbert (CEO of 3D-SHAPER), and Xavi Planes (CTO of Adas3D). The company has experienced notable co-founder attrition, with three of the original co-founders (Héctor Fernández, Ignacio Larrabide, Yves Martelli) having departed. The company employs 11-50 staff, operates from Rambla Catalunya in Barcelona, and has no disclosed parent company, public listing, or institutional investors beyond Inveready and government grant bodies.

Core offering

Galgo Medical develops and licenses medical imaging post-processing software for surgical planning and diagnostics. Its portfolio includes StereoDive (stereotactic neurosurgery planning), ADAS3D (cardiac ablation visualization), and 3D-SHAPER (3D patient-specific bone modeling from DXA imaging for osteoporosis diagnostics). The products are targeted at healthcare professionals and medical institutions for clinical decision support, pre-operative planning, and improved diagnostics.

Product overview

Galgo Medical is a Barcelona-based medical imaging software company incorporated in July 2013, emerging from the Department of Information Technologies of Universitat Pompeu Fabra. The company offers a portfolio of imaging post-processing software solutions focused on four medical disciplines: stereotactic neurosurgery, electrophysiology, and osteoporosis. The core products include StereoDive (investigational product for neurosurgical planning), ADAS3D (cardiac ablation procedure visualization), and 3D-SHAPER (bone disease diagnostics via 3D model reconstruction from DXA imaging). The company has three spin-off entities: StereoDive, Adas3D Medical SL, and 3D-SHAPER Medical SL.

Direct peers

• Sectra: Swedish medical-imaging IT company providing radiology PACS, advanced visualisation and orthopedic pre-operative planning modules — closely comparable to Galgo's enterprise imaging-software GTM into hospitals.
• HeartFlow: US-based cardiac imaging-AI company that turns CT data into personalised 3D models for non-invasive FFR assessment — directly comparable to Galgo's ADAS 3D cardiac fibrosis/wall-thickness visualisation product, with a parallel AI-imaging-for-clinical-decision-support business model.
• Brainlab: Munich-based surgical planning and navigation software company with deep footprint in stereotactic neurosurgery and image-guided surgery — directly comparable to Galgo's StereoDive neurosurgery planning product and overlapping hospital GTM.
• Materialise: Belgian provider of 3D medical-imaging and patient-specific planning software (Mimics) widely used in orthopaedic and surgical planning — directly comparable to Galgo's 3D-SHAPER DXA-to-3D patient-specific modelling approach.
• Renishaw (neuromate): Renishaw's neuromate stereotactic robot and associated planning software are the dominant commercial platform in stereotactic neurosurgery — directly comparable to StereoDive and a likely standard-of-care competitor Galgo must displace.
• Circle Cardiovascular Imaging: Calgary-based developer of cardiac MR and CT post-processing software (cvi42) used in electrophysiology and structural-heart planning — directly comparable to ADAS 3D for ablation-procedure visualisation and cardiac anatomy assessment.
• EOS Imaging: Provider of low-dose 2D/3D orthopaedic imaging and 3D bone-modelling for musculoskeletal care — directly comparable to Galgo's 3D-SHAPER patient-specific bone modelling for osteoporosis assessment.

Broad incumbents

• Stryker: Global medical-device incumbent with surgical-navigation, robotics (Mako) and orthopaedic-planning capabilities — broader incumbent in adjacent surgical-navigation and patient-specific instrumentation markets where Galgo also plays (3D-SHAPER, StereoDive).
• Siemens Healthineers: Global imaging incumbent (syngo.via, AI-Rad Companion) operating across radiology, cardiology and surgical planning — broad incumbent whose breadth of advanced visualisation overlaps multiple Galgo product lines.
• Philips (Healthcare): Global incumbent with IntelliSpace Portal advanced visualisation, EP/cardiac imaging and AI imaging portfolio — broad incumbent whose installed base and R&D scale overshadow niche players like Galgo.
