Medāna, an innovative Portuguese company based in Lisbon, has announced its entry into the Spanish healthcare market, beginning its expansion across Europe. Founded by Dr. Tal Patalon, the startup aims to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence (AI) and its application in everyday clinical processes, a growing need in the healthcare sector.
The company has developed an advanced AI infrastructure that effectively integrates with existing systems in hospitals, insurers, and pharmaceutical companies. Its platform can analyze clinical and genetic data in real-time, allowing not only the validation of multi-omic algorithms but also the scoring of patients’ health. This approach transforms data and information flows into a system suitable for AI, thereby improving healthcare and optimizing available treatments.
Dr. Patalon, also known for her work at Maccabi Healthcare Services and collaboration with Forbes.com, has expressed her enthusiasm for collaboration opportunities in the Spanish healthcare ecosystem. “Spain has exceptional professionals, a strong hospital network, and a clear openness to innovation. We want to collaborate with the Spanish ecosystem to accelerate the digital transformation of healthcare,” stated the founder.
Medāna plans to start its journey in Spain by collaborating with different entities in the healthcare sector. With an initial investment of 2 million euros received from the Maccabi Foundation, the company aims not only to create qualified jobs but also to contribute to strengthening a more robust and sustainable healthcare ecosystem in the country.
Medāna’s technology has attracted the attention of various investment funds and institutions, who see in its solutions a path towards a future where healthcare is smarter and patient-centered. Medāna aspires to promote personalized and transformative medicine, improving clinical outcomes and patient care, as well as avoiding unnecessary treatments and tests. With this focus, the company positions itself as a key player in the European healthtech landscape.
