Past: from academic research to innovative health tech start-up
Foundation of RIMASYS was laid in 2011 as part of a research project between two universities in Cologne to biomechanically analyze a high-speed trauma with micromotion studies and dynamometric science. From a theoretical research and modeling approach, a software-controlled method has been developed as basis for today's biomechanic algorithm.
In the course of the successful expansion into additional anatomic regions and the patent application, RIMASYS GmbH was founded as an independent university spin-off to better serve customers needs and professionalize its activities. Since 2016 the RIMASYS facilities are located on the BioCampus Cologne and lifelike fractures have been supplied within and outside Europe to the US and Australia.
Present: fracture portfolio expansion | beginning of own training brand/lab
RIMASYS has been awarded as one of "Europe’s Top 40 Digital Health & MedTech Companies" at the Tech Tour 2017 "Healthtech Summit" and "Germany's Top10 most promising digital StartUp" at The Spark 2019 by Handelsblatt & McKinsey.
Fracture portfolio expanded into all relevant anatomic regions (upper/lower extremity, CMF, hip).
In 2018 the high-class training facility CADLAB COLOGNE was inaugurated as surgical innovation and training center. In 2019 own educational concepts were launched under the brand of TRAUMA ACADEMY as novel approach to practical skill training providing highest possible quality and innovation.
Future: internationalization and development of artificial intelligence
RIMASYS sets new standards in surgical education and the MedTech industry through the realistic training with fractured specimen and aims to establish this new philosophy throughout the globe. New partnerships with hospital chains, global enterprises and national medical societies will drive the adoption and advancement in the next generation's surgical community.
The constant advancement of our biomechanical model offers new possibilities in digital health and AI product development. We aim to support surgeons not only during training but also in the operating room with our artificial intelligence solutions.
We'll continue to challenge the status-quo to ultimately improve quality of care and patient outcomes.
