HELSINKI – Berlin’s university hospital Charité (Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin), one of Europe’s largest and most prestigious hospitals, has signed an agreement with the Finnish health technology company MedicubeX.

The partnership marks a significant step in cross-border healthcare digitalization and the development of preventive health services. It combines Charité’s clinical excellence with MedicubeX’s automated, patient-centric medical technology. User's health data can be integrated directly from the station to any EHR system to be evaluated by healthcare professionals.

Next-generation preventive medical technology

The MedicubeX® eHealth Station™ is particularly well-suited for screenings, as it identifies risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes at an early stage, even before symptoms appear. The self-measurement stations are scalable even for national-level preventive cardiovascular screenings. At University Hospital Frankfurt, a single station screened nearly 10,000 people during office hours in less than a year and a half.

The solution is timely, as European healthcare systems face growing pressure to organize large-scale screening programs, such as through the EU's Safe Hearts Plan. According to the plan, a country the size of Finland alone would need to conduct approximately 800,000 health check-ups annually.

In addition to screenings, the technology has already proven its effectiveness at the Kiel campus of the University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein (Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein, UKSH) in Germany, where roughly half of the patients arriving at the emergency department daily are directed to use the eHealth Station. This speeds up emergency triage without compromising the quality of care.

Significance for Finnish industry and exports

"Collaborating with a top-tier institution like Charité is a significant vote of confidence in Finnish medical technology and our vision for early cardiovascular disease prevention," says Vili Kostamo MD, CEO and co-founder of MedicubeX.

Germany has proven to be a rapidly growing market for Finnish self-measurement technology, with inquiries coming in weekly.

"Charité is already the fourth German university hospital we are partnering with; the others are located in Frankfurt, Kiel, and Leipzig. Partnering with their visionary teams gives us the opportunity to demonstrate how autonomous self-measurement stations can alleviate the growing pressure on medical staff while providing patients directly with accurate, reliable, and easily accessible preventive information about their own health."

On Sunday, November 15, at MEDICA in Düsseldorf, Germany, one of Europe's largest health technology trade fairs, MedicubeX will unveil to the international press a medical device scheduled for release in 2027. To be integrated into eHealth Stations, the device predicts the 10-year risk of developing and dying from cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes without a blood test.

About MedicubeX

MedicubeX is a Finnish medical technology company that develops self-service healthcare solutions. The company’s flagship product, the MedicubeX® eHealth Station™, combines non-invasive measurements, such as blood pressure and ECG, with risk assessments for cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes, as well as remote consultation capabilities. This makes health check-ups fast, effortless, and easily accessible in hospitals, occupational healthcare, and public spaces. In 2027, MedicubeX will launch its patents pending risk algorithms for predicting cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes as a Class IIa medical device (SaMD, Software as a Medical Device). The upcoming medical device predicts the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease without a blood test.
