Medika - clean production of medical devices
About the company and the project impact
Medika Pro Ltd. is a Hungarian start-up founded in 2017. The company has developed an easy-to-use self-measurement medical device product family for measuring the pH-level in body fluids. Its self-measuring tools are safe and easy to use in both the professional environment and in daily life. The company protected its intellectual property and won several awards, such as 1st place at the Start-up Campus Roadshow, Hungarian Design Awards, and received a seed investment.
A feasibility study revealed some technical difficulties, requiring the help of external experts. So, Medika got involved in the KET4CP project to gain access to experts who could help with sensor development, fully recyclable materials for sensor components and 3D printing.
