INDICATE Building Bridges with the Medical Device Industry

INDICATE

INnovative DIagnostic Capabilities Adoption To End-users Deliver innovative technology to your doorstep.

Micron is contributing to healthcare as a whole by approaching it from both diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.

We adopt, introduce, and propose advanced diagnostic and analysis technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) enabled software.

We act as a bridge between companies and academic researchers that develop these technologies and those that wish to use them in clinical trials and researches. Please feel free to contact us.

 

Micron serves as a bridge which links both diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives. Micron acts as a bridge between companies that want to introduce innovative software as medical device (SaMD) and pharmaceutical companies and academia or KOLs.
