Our partnership with Mútua Terrassa

/in /by

At CatMech, we take pride in our partnership with the Mútua Terrassa Foundation for Biomedical and Social Teaching and Research (FMT), a collaboration that highlights our shared commitment to advancing research and technological innovation in the hospital sector.

 

This strategic alliance, established between the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya-BarcelonaTech (UPC) and FMT, has provided a framework for developing technologies that aim to improve clinical care and enhance patients’ well-being. Together, we have worked on pioneering solutions in hospital engineering, from cutting-edge surgical and biomedical devices to innovative monitoring and therapeutic technologies.

 

Key projects developed through this partnership include:

  • A patient detection wristband for hospitals,
  • An ergonomic gynecological bed designed to facilitate more natural birthing positions,
  • A study on Alpha, Beta, and Gamma radiation exposure during intercontinental flights.

 

Under the leadership of our principal investigator, Professor Javier Álvarez del Castillo, and in close collaboration with healthcare professionals at Mútua Terrassa University Hospital (HUMT), these initiatives reflect our commitment to addressing real-world challenges in healthcare. The establishment of a joint commission between UPC and FMT has ensured that our work remains aligned, collaborative, and impactful.

 

Dr. David Dalmau Juanola, Director of the Mútua Terrassa Teaching and Research Foundation, has emphasized the importance of this partnership in fostering interdisciplinary research and adding value to biomedical innovation. At CatMech, we share this vision, working to transform technological challenges into solutions that enhance the work of healthcare professionals and improve patient outcomes.

 

This collaboration stands as a testament to the power of combining engineering expertise with medical innovation. We remain dedicated to driving projects that push the boundaries of hospital engineering and contribute to a healthier, more advanced society.
