HeroSupport is the name of the start-up launched by Giovanna Dipasquale, a medical physicist at the University Hospital of Geneva (HUG). It is a project aimed at simplifying cancer treatment with innovative personalized supports, whose task is to reproduce and fix the patient’s body in the established position in all of the treatment sessions.
For the creation of these immobilization tools, the start-up is relying on the valuable contribution of a special 3D printer made by 3ntr, A2v4 MED. A printer using FDM technology, which has special features to adapt to the medical environment as well as HeroSupport’s requirements.
