The French startup Medinbox was first known for its work as a production company, but it has now stood out in the MedTech industry as it released an audiovisual management system directly integrated into the operating theater. A little barbaric at first glance, the equipment intended for hospitals and clinics is less complicated than expected: “there is an audiovisual system integrated to the operating theater with several cameras and microphones. We place connected screens outside of the room and direct from there, where we can both record the surgery and stream it live” explains Nicolas Gausserand, CEO of Medinbox. For instance, this solution allows for a surgery to be broadcasted to a medical classroom: students can follow the surgery and the control screens, as if they were in the OR themselves. A strong point? No training is needed to use the system: “I gave the cameras to my three-year-old daughter, and she could control them! says the CEO. Our strong suit is the ergonomics.”

And Nicolas Gausserand managed to stand out by recently partnering up with the Presbyterian Hospital of New York City: “We just equipped one of their operating rooms with a Medinbox system, a second system is already in the works, and we are negotiating for a third.” A contract with the hospital, being attached to Columbia, which is one of the most prestigious university in the world, should open more doors to the five-person-company in Toulouse.

Toulouse is where it all started, when in January 2010 Nicolas Gausserand set his offices in Port Saint-Sauveur. The Clinique Pasteur took part in the company’s capital, becoming a testing ground for the Medinbox system. Ever since the tryout period, Medinbox systems started spreading throughout France, Switzerland and the Principality of Monaco. After the US, the company is now turning towards England, Germany and even the United Arab Emirates, where a Medinbox system is to be set up by the month of July.

It’s a beautiful story for the MedTech startup, and it is only beginning. On one side, negotiations are going with other American hospitals, and on another, the tech team keeps on improving the quality of the images, working with Ultra HD technology, always closer to an “in-real-life” operating room experience.

Medinbox has already equipped many clinics and hospitals in France.

Started in 2008, the company specializes in operating room camera systems and facilitating medical collaboration. They just strategically partnered up with the Presbyterian Hospital of the University of Columbia in New York City, USA.

Founded in Toulouse, the Medtech startup is the venture between Next Media Factory and the Clinique Pasteur.

After developing solutions, in close collaboration with surgery professionals, Medinbox released a high quality, autonomous, easy to use, and financially affordable operating room camera system; making Medinbox the non-intrusive solution most adapted for streaming and broadcasting live surgery, but also for telemedicine, remote proctoring and support.

The Medinbox AV medical solution has seduced hospitals and clinics in France, but also in Switzerland and the Principality of Monaco. Amongst the first clients are the Clinique Pasteur de Toulouse, the University Hospital Center (CHU) of Brest or the Clinique des Fleurs in Ollioules… and rumor has it Medinbox is in negotiation with the United Arab Emirates.

Medinbox was founded in 2008 in Toulouse, South of France. It first started as a partnership between Next Media Factory, a production company, and the Clinique Pasteur, the first cardiovascular center of France. The small startup was specialized in filming and live streaming surgical operations. Today, their success is ongoing as they just equipped a hospital in the United States.

Contrary to what one may believe, the industry of medical-friendly AV systems is greatly sought after. Videos are not only useful for training and apprenticeship but also for medical congresses and conferences. But there is one issue: to fit a filming crew in an operating room is quite troublesome for the hospital staff. That first solution was intrusive and expensive, it was not ideal.

That is where Medinbox comes in: the MedTech startup created a new system with cameras that can be controlled remotely. Simple of use and efficient, the Medinbox solution allows one to gather footage from the OR without disturbing the hospital staff.

After their beginnings, equipping the Clinique Pasteur in Toulouse, the University Hospital Center (CHU) of Brest, and the Clinic des Fleurs in Ollioules, Medinbox extended its fields of action. Today the startup has clients in France, Switzerland and the Principality of Monaco. And Medinbox is not stopping there. Two days ago, the MedTech startup announced a successful contract with the Presbyterian Hospital of the University of Columbia in New York City, what an achievement!
