Description du projet
Un dispositif de traitement simple pour les blessures difficiles à guérir
Les blessures difficiles à guérir peuvent causer de la douleur et parfois mener à une amputation. Ce problème affecte environ 50 millions de personnes dans le monde, essentiellement des personnes âgées. Dues au diabète ou à l’obésité, ces blessures peuvent prendre différentes formes pathologiques. Le projet Piomic, financé par l’UE, entend soutenir la stratégie de commercialisation du dispositif médical portable développé pour traiter ces blessures difficiles à guérir. Il favorise le processus de guérison qui permet une cicatrisation structurelle durable, réduit la douleur et soigne les infections. Il est portable et conçu pour être géré par le patient. Cette technologie fondée sur l’énergie est facile à utiliser et encouragera un traitement sûr, en plus d’améliorer la qualité de vie du patient.
Objectif
Due to an aging population with growing rates of obesity and diabetes, over 50M patients suffer from hard-to-heal wounds annually, which has created a severe cost burden to global healthcare systems.
Piomic Medical AG, a Swiss Med-Tech company founded in 2016, develops a medical device to promote wound healing processes in hard-to-heal wounds. The device matches market mega-trends for portability and patient self-management. The patient may benefit from a faster healing process, reduced pain and inflammation as well as an improved treatment outcome. Early traction allowed Piomic to conduct a first in human clinical trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of its product and engage CE certification under MDD regulation.
The management team of Piomic consists of professionals with interdisciplinary knowledge in science and engineering, paired up with experts in regulatory affairs, life science and product development. We believe life shouldn't be defined by a medical condition. By developing a therapy which is safe and effective we hope to set a better future for everyone in need.
The feasibility study aims to validate the commercial feasibility of Piomic with target market segments and key stakeholders. We will strengthen our financial planning and IP protection strategy necessary to improve our service and refine our go-to-market strategy. We will also specify product features needed for a fully commercialized solution upgraded to TRL 9, after the SME Instrument Phase 2.
With a Total Addressable Market of €19.3 billion, we plan to reach €35m revenues by 2024 with 90+ FTEs employed.
