Specifix started with one simple frustration.
Hand surgeon Prof. Matthias Vanhees knew that planning complex fracture surgery could be slow, inconsistent, and dependent on manual software. Existing solutions required expensive specialists and too much time.
That is why he decided to partner with VisionLab (UAntwerp and imec) to develop our core technology, which lead to two granted patents thanks to the revolutionary approach.
Specifix spin-off in January 2023. Our complementary and multicultural team, has the perfect combination of medical, technical, and business experience to bring this product to the market.
Prof. Dr. MD. Matthias Vanhees (CMO):
Internationally renowned Hand & Wrist surgeon, active in research of 3D technologies.
Dr. Alejandra Ortega (CEO):
Doctor in Biomedical sciences with experience in the industry of medical devices.
Built by surgeons, powered by AI
Smarter fracture planning in minutes
At Specifix we are developing a software that automatically creates personalized surgical plans from CT scans. Our unique AI-based solution supports orthopedic surgeons in selecting the best implant to use (the right implant and its optimal placement) to stabilize fractures. Our software solves the problem of long surgeries, poor patient outcomes, and reduces medical waste and environmental impact.
Unlike our competitors, our software is fast and fully automatic, it does not require a specially trained operator which is expensive and time consuming. The surgeons can access the software via a website, making it easy to use from anywhere in the world 24/7.
Our initial application will be for wrist fractures, but we will soon expand the software to other joints such as the shoulder, knee, and ankle.
