Awareness raising
After 15 years of clinical practice and a few years as a medical simulation trainer, Jean-Christophe Cejka, an anaesthetist-resuscitator, regrets the inevitability of human errors in care and the resulting abyssal consequences in terms of costs and human lives.
He starts considering the creation of a digital assistant to overcome these shortcomings.
The incubation
After having matured his project, Jean-Christophe Cejka meets the managers of Pulsalys*, the SATT** of Lyon. Convinced by his approach, they agree to accompany him.
The incubator then funds the development of a mobile tool that will become the first version of MAX.
* https://www.pulsalys.fr ** Société d'Accélération du Transfert de TechnologiesMAX is born
Jean-Christophe Cejka calls on the technical expertise of AXOPEN*, a Lyon-based ESN**, to design and develop the first version of MAX for iOS.
The machine is launched: the first screens arrive, then the first words, and MAX is born!
* https://www.axopen.com ** Entreprise de Services du NumériqueThe first steps
Assigned to medical doctoral students, MAX makes his first experiences in medical simulation. This will lead to a first thesis in anaesthesia-resuscitation, the results of which will be published at the SFAR* congress, as well as in the very serious BJA**, the best anaesthesia journal in the world.
Meanwhile, developments continue: new features on the mobile app, and a web editor to create procedures.
* Société Française d'Anesthésie-Réanimation, https://sfar.org ** British Journal of Anaesthesia, https://bjanaesthesia.orgThe recognition
Things are accelerating: the web editor is welcoming new tools, and two other theses are being conducted on MAX. The SFAR is awarding him its Emergency Medicine Prize ; at the BPI*, he's awarded the French Tech prize.
By the end of the year, Jean-Christophe Cejka founds the company MEDAE.
* Banque Publique d'Investissement, https://www.bpifrance.frThe take-off
A new article in the BJA, new theses... the success is confirmed, the team is growing, and MEDAE puts online its new collaborative platform.
In September, the marketing begins:
MAX spreads his wings!
And tomorrow...?
... MAX takes out its crystal ball and becomes predictive: by securely analyzing field data, collected at the very heart of your business, MAX anticipates expertise and prevents complications before they occur.
With MAX, unwind your mind: unchain your skills.
