University spin-off Virmedex strengthens its international presence

Virmedex was created in 2022 from research into serious games by a team at the Health Research and Innovation Institute of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) in collaboration with healthcare professionals from the University of Barcelona (UB) and the Hospital Clínic. They are a group passionate about gaming who believed that gamified virtual training is the educational paradigm of future generations. Staying true to this vision, Virmedex develops virtual simulators based on video games, AI and VR to train students and healthcare professionals worldwide in the use of complex medical devices.

Virmedex solutions are offered through a subscription-based web platform, a system that reduces costs and makes them accessible to all types of hospitals, not just the largest, as was previously the case. Today, Virmedex solutions are used in leading universities and hospitals across Europe, Latin America and the United States. The company is now preparing for a second funding round in mid-2026, aimed at consolidating growth, expanding its simulators, strengthening the team and accelerating international expansion.
