The Blue Box Biomedical Solutions

💫 You don’t truly realize the importance of having incredible partners until you find yourself developing a software and hardware-based medical device—one that integrates sensors, AI, a user interface for doctors, and cloud-based intelligence. It’s a complex challenge, but with the right partners, it becomes an exciting journey. 📅 Last week at 4YFN (MWC 2025), we connected and celebrated the amazing collaboration that drives our mission forward. A huge shoutout to our Partners in Mission—Perdigó Medical, Qualud, and CMG MedDev—with whom we exchanged some ideas and shared a well-deserved celebration afterward. Perdigó Medical: Jone Alzueta Hernandez, Arnau Perdigó-Oliveras CMG MedDev: Carmen Martin, Ilcie Quintero Ávila Qualud: Júlia Mulet Lamarca, Luis Crespo Domínguez TBB in-house team: Sara Morera Roca, Pablo Martínez Montesinos, Lidia Navarro Farré, PhD, Judit Giró Benet, Silvia Bueno Megias, Júlia Solana Balaguer, PhD #MWC2025 #Innovation #AI #MedicalDevices #PartnersInMission #BreastCancerDetection

Hoy la Asociación Española contra el Cáncer ha juntado en un mismo auditorio a #clínicos, #pacientes y #startups. Como receptores de la beca Impacto, que co-financia nuestra validación clínica en The Blue Box Biomedical Solutions, hemos podido ser parte de ello. Aquí mis take-aways mas claves: 🔑 En la primera mesa, la Dra. Marta Puyol lanzaba el gran reto de la #AECC preguntando si podremos conseguir una supervivencia en cáncer del 70%. El Dr. Laureano Molins lo tiene claro: ¡sí, algunos países ya lo están logrando! 🏥 ¿Cómo conseguirlo? Centros de cáncer *integrales* y humanizando la atención al #paciente, hecho que immediatamente pone de manifesto cediendo la palabra a la paciente Marta Iglesias, quien ha sido un pieza clave del comité de selección que ha distribuye los fondos de las becas AECC. 🔑 En la segunda mesa, junto a Maria Lluch Senar, Roger Gomis, Laia Josa Culleré y Cristian Ochoa Arnedo, discutimos cómo la AECC es unos de los principales impulsores la investigación contra el cáncer en España, con más de 2000 investigadores apoyados, y ¡The Blue Box Biomedical Solutions es, ahora, uno de estos proyectos! 🔑 En la tercera mesa, Josep Tabernero MD, PhD destacó que la #excelencia se logra con investigación de calidad y #colaboración, haciendo un guiño a nuestro sistema sanitario. El Dr. Elias Campo sumaba que la excelencia transforma formas de actuar, de relacionarnos con los pacientes y con otros investigadores. Finalmente, Marcos Malumbres concluía con un piropo lanzado al ecosistema innovador de #Barcelona, de nuevo haciendo apología a la colaboración entre médicos, ingenieros biomédicos e investigación, lo que me hizo sonreír al recordar cómo, en mis tiempos de estudio, la investigación biomédica no existía como tal. 💙 Gracias a AECC por la beca Impacto, que nos va a ayudar a financiar nuestra #ensayo #clínico para sacar nuestro test de #cáncer de #mama en #orina al mercado. También me ha hecho especial ilusión coincidir con el Dr. Laureano Molins, quien fue profesor mío y una de las primeras personas que me hablaron de que los perros olían el cáncer. Me alegra ver que ambos seguimos persiguiendo un objetivo similar: Él como presidente de la AECC-Cataluña y nosotros en The Blue Box. ¡Seguimos! 🚀 cc: Júlia Solana Balaguer, PhD

Big thanks to the Asociación Española contra el Cáncer (Spanish Cancer Society) for the Impact Grant, which will help us finance our upcoming regulatory clinical trial! 🙌 We’re pumped to be part of this amazing network supporting innovation in cancer research. You guys don’t just cheer from the sidelines – you make things happen! 💪 #Grateful #Impactful #CancerResearch

Today, on #WorldCancerDay, we want to give a heartfelt shout-out to Asociación Española contra el Cáncer (the Spanish Association Against Cancer), our partners-in-mission! 📅 Founded in 1953, AECC's mission has always been to ensure that cancer treatments are accessible to those in need. Two decades later, they became pioneers in establishing early-stage breast cancer screening programs in Spain. Both organizations recognize that screening increases survival rates and optimizes resource allocation, allowing us to study more cancers and help more people. 😊 Through a €150K grant, the AECC is supporting us in advancing towards a more effective early detection of cancer. In addition to providing funding, the AECC promotes oncology research through its specialized programs, like AECC Impacto of which we are now part. Thanks to their 70+ years of expertise and a wealth of resources, we are confident that this partnership will drive the success of our device development. 💭 3 interesting websites worth checking out on this important day: 1.

The number of women <50 diagnosed with breast cancer is increasing, and this highlights one important point:  🎯 the system must adapt to meet the need for screening women who are currently not being called for testing. 📈 The reasons behind the rise in BC cases among younger women are primarily linked to lifestyle changes: 1) becoming mothers at older ages 2) engaging in less physical activity, and 3) following unbalanced diets that lead to overweight. 🙏 Although we, as women, can take certain steps to mitigate these risks, the need for earlier screenings is becoming increasingly evident. The Blue Box could serve as a valuable tool to facilitate mass screenings due to its low cost and ability to deliver results quickly (~30 minutes). 👇 Read the full article at CBS News. https://lnkd.in/dDtQ26aV

💡 Doctors don’t care about your shiny new innovation unless it helps them do their job faster, smarter, and with #data they can actually use—bonus points if it makes #diagnostics more #accessible to their patients. This and many more hard truths were shared at ✨Health Tech Forward✨ conference last week. Below are our key takeaways! 🎙️ Johannes Blaschke, principal at Calm/Storm: Patient-centric care is critical, but... Are we pushing patients to decide too much when many prefer to rely on their doctor's opinion? Instead, provide doctors with better tools and data to make informed decisions. – An interesting ongoing debate. 🎙️ Madeleine Durand, head of strategy at Bupa: “From fee-for-sickness to fee-for-outcome": #Data-driven, #outcome-based healthcare can cut #costs by 20% and improve outcomes by 30%. Thank you for the great insights you provided after your panel, Madeleine! 🎙️ Amine Benmoussa, Partner at Karista:  Generative AI is shaking up healthcare, making diagnostics, treatments, and patient care smarter and more efficient. It’s a huge step toward personalized medicine and transforming how we tackle health challenges. 🎙️ Accessible Diagnostics roundtable with Annie Theriault, MP at Cross-Border Impact Ventures, Anthony Vallance-Owen, Investment Manager at We Venture Capital, Andreas Halner, COO at Oxford Cancer Analytics; and Marina Rigau, CEO at MiMARK Diagnostics: "70% of medical decisions rely on diagnostics, yet millions lack access. Early detection saves lives, but accessibility must catch up to innovation.” Loved seeing top-tier VCs discuss this with our neighbor MiMARK 😉 and fellow pitch competitor Oxcan! 🎙️ Antoine D'Hollander, Investment Director at Capricorn Partners: "The future is not just capturing data, but capturing the right data into the right #clinical #trial" 🎙️ Sílvia Vinyes Roca at DKV Belgium: "Women’s health tech is growing, but still gets just 2% of healthcare venture funding. It’s time to close the gap!" 😎 It was also fantastic connecting with other innovators like Carina Roth, - Helena Torras -, Rubén Molina, Júlia Rodríguez Comas... So great to see you in person! Let’s make early detection available to everyone, everywhere. 🚀 . . . . #HealthTechForward #WomenInHealth #EarlyDetection #BreastCancer #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #MedTechInnovation #Diagnostics #ClinicalDecisionMaking #PatientCare #HealthcareInnovation #HealthcareManagement #HospitalLeadership #HealthTechInvestors #FutureOfDiagnostics #GlobalHealthTech #EUHealth #USHealthcare #AccessibleDiagnostics #WomensHealth #BreastCancerAwareness
