From top tier academic research
to digital medicine products
An innovative
spin-off company
PrediSurge is a spin-off company from the Biomedical and Healthcare laboratory of top tier engineering school Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne.
PrediSurge was founded in May 2017 in Saint-Étienne (France) to spread the innovative technology of predictive and patient-specific numerical simulation in to the cardiovascular communities, both physicians and devices manufacturers.
Patient-specific Digital Twin
Our idea has come up from the meeting of engineers, researchers and clinicians, to solve difficulties encountered during the process of aortic endovascular interventions.
Consequently, more than 8 years of academic research between the engineering school of Mines and Saint-Étienne University Hospital have resulted in a prototype of predictive patient-specific simulation – the digital twin. Since PrediSurge inception, this technology was improved, extended and validated to different anatomies.
Predictive simulation for precision medicine
Based on these promising results, PrediSurge had been founded to spread this highly valuable work among cardiovascular communities and for the benefit of the patient on a wide scale. Our strong collaborative setup is now dedicated to develop digital solutions for the medicine of the future.
