The start of connected wound care
The concept of connected healing appears in Spain. That year, health authorities called for better wound management in order to better manage treatment costs. Urgo Medical looks into the matter and finds several ways to improve wound management:
- Sharing best care practices between healthcare professionals
- Recording information about the wound (including pictures) in an organised way
- Choose a dressing adapted to the patient's wound
The idea is launched, Urgo Medical begins the development of a digital solution that meets these three needs.
The application prototype is tested with Healthcare practitioners
The application’s prototype is tested in Spain with multiple healthcare practioners. Our team discusses with the users and other healthcare practioners to better improve this proof of concept. It becomes a success in 6 months. The project spreads to France.
Putting the healthcare practioners’ needs at the heart of the project
During 2016, our main focus is given to what matters to our users and to the Healthcare professionals all across Europe. A name to embody this ambition is chosen, it will be Healico.
Professionals all around Europe are calling for a reliable tool, capable to adapt to each healthcare system. We improve the application with new functionalities and reinforced data protection measures.
For the first time, the application is involved in caring for patients with wounds

Healthcare practitioners from multiple countries take part in the application’s redesign. They help improve the V1.0 of the Healico application. The objective is to make it easy to access to all.
