What HealthTech Innovations does

HealthTech Innovations S.L. is a Barcelona-based healthtech startup founded in February 2024 as a spin-off of the Institut Germans Trias i Pujol (IGTP), the research institute of Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol. The company develops a multi-functional robotic-assistance platform for operating rooms that integrates AI, Computer Vision, collaborative robotics, and Virtual/Extended Reality technologies. Its two commercial product lines are MedVision Pro — an AI-powered surgical-instrument recognition and automatic counting system with variants PRO (full alphanumeric/Data Matrix recognition), DATA (UDI unit-level), and LITE (instant counting and traceability), equipped with a 4K camera arm, display, and barcode/UDI readers that interface with hospital traceability systems — and HealthPro VR, a patented one-touch VR launcher module with a touchscreen interface that distributes VR/XR content (compatible with PICO 4, Meta Quest 3, HTC Vive 2, HoloLens 2) across multiple headsets for patient distraction during chemotherapy, dialysis, blood donations, and pediatric procedures, as well as staff training and teleassistance in surgery. The company is CE-certified (EU Declaration of Conformity 06/08/2024 under Directive 2014/53/UE).
