Resumen del contexto y de los objetivos generales del proyecto

MicruX is a technology-based SME founded in 2008 with an intensive R&D activity and a clear orientation to market. MicruX is a well-established company providing microfluidic solutions in the research market. After more than 10 years of experience, we are ready to introduce ourselves in the health market with our product PoCMicruX: an easy-to-use, accurate and affordable Point-of-Care device specially designed for the management of chronic diseases, tested for cholesterol, diabetes, heart conditions or kidney dysfunctions. The Point-of-Care devices market is likely to grow 7,12% reaching €33,33 billion € by 2019, which suppose an attractive opportunity for MicruX positioning in the medical device market.

Trabajo realizado desde el comienzo del proyecto hasta el final del período abarcado por el informe y los principales resultados hasta la fecha

We have evaluated the technical and economic viability of PoCMicruX, establishing a business plan for the adequate exploitation of the technology in the Point of Care (PoC) medical devices market. We have defined the technical upgrades to be made from the design and production point of view. Reinforced by the commercial assessment, we decided to focus in a more specific pool of biomarkers for cholesterol management for the first version of PoCMicruX, and we have redesigned the base of our Biochip. In parallel, we have corroborated the market potential and defined a detailed IPR and regulatory strategies.

Avances que van más allá del estado de la técnica e impacto potencial esperado (incluida la repercusión socioeconómica y las implicaciones sociales más amplias del proyecto hasta la fecha)

We believe that in 3 years from now, PoCMicruX-Cho will allow doctors, pharmacists or patients to accurately test simultaneously the key biomarkers for the monitoring and prevention of cholesterol, making an impact in patients with hypercholesterolemia, allowing them to self-control their cholesterol levels at home. Based on our constant effort of building our already well-established European and overseas network of distributors, we expect to reach 48.000 end-users after the first five years of commercialization, and according to our financial assumptions, by 2026 PoCMicruX is expected to have generated 59 new job positions and a yearly turnover of €14,1 million and €3,1 million profit (43% of profitability). The Return on Investment (RoI) considering previous investment (€1,57 million), the phase 2 project (€1,6 million) and phase 3 (€0,8 million) is 1,75.
