Expertise, Innovation, and Dedication

Our startup is driven by a passionate team of experienced software developers, visionary inventors, and dedicated scientists, all committed to transforming healthcare through innovative solutions. In close collaboration with the Centre for Muscle and Bone Research at Charité, we are developing patented technology for non-invasive bone quality diagnosis, turning it into a groundbreaking medical device that aims to revolutionize osteoporosis detection.

What began as a small, tightly-knit team when Prof. Kay Raum invented the POROUS method has grown into an international group of experts. Each member brings a unique skill set to the table, working together toward a shared goal: to eliminate fractures and improve patient outcomes worldwide. With this unified vision, we are advancing cutting-edge diagnostic technology toward clinical application.

We are confident that our innovative approach will play a crucial role in preventing fractures and enhancing patient care. Our diverse expertise, relentless dedication, and shared passion for this mission are what drive our success every day.

With team members from six different nationalities, we thrive on the diversity that strengthens our collaboration. Every contribution is essential, and together, we are building something truly exceptional for the future of bone health.

Focus on Stronger Pig Bones
The Swiss breeding company Suisag, FBN Dummerstorf, and POROUS have launched the “PigBoneS” project to breed pigs with improved phosphorus utilization and stronger bones.

POROUS uses a non-invasive 3D ultrasound method to measure bone density and stability in slaughtered animals, primarily Swiss Large White pigs. The forefoot (metacarpus) serves as an indicator of bone health, complemented by blood analyses for phosphorus utilization markers. The aim is to identify genetic markers for these traits.

The project promotes bone health while reducing phosphorus excretion. It is supported by the Eureka Eurostars program, Innosuisse, and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
