Biotech Awards 2017

8 | ghp Biotechnology Awards 2017 Best Dental Technology Company - Austria & Most Advanced Dental Brace Monitor: SYSTEM TheraMon® The TheraMon® sensor is unique in the worldwide market, and has had no serious competition since 2010. MC Technology’s customers are principally dental labs, dentists, orthodontists, orthopaedic technicians and clinicians, doctors in ophthalmology and specialised logistic experts. Gerhard believes that a large number of the most innovative products on offer on the market today come from small companies that are not afraid to do things differently. “I believe that only small companies show the required personal enthusiasm for projects such as this, and are willing and have the ability to suffer during the process, because of huge workloads, high costs and the problems posed in raising the required financial resources in time intensive situations. MC Technology has been worldwide for over six years, and is the worldwide leader in pure micro sensor technology for Patient Compliance Monitoring. “In 2009, when I introduced the concept of TheraMon®, many potential customers laughed about the idea; eight years later, many of them satisfied customers. Patient Compliance Monitoring has received great awareness recently, and the need for TheraMon® demonstrates the unusually high growth demand. MC Technology has no patents on the products, meaning that aim of remaining in the lead in compliance technology can only be maintained by technical advantage. Therefore, a product by MC Technology will never be truly finished, and will be subject to a permanent ongoing improvement and enhancement process. “MC Technology is well prepared to take the unpopular approach to existing problems, pushing them towards new innovations. Our presence at many worldwide exhibitions, congresses and talks to medical experts, as well as lectures at international symposiums enables a great overview of existing problems which need to be solved with high tech products. MC Technology is supported in many different studies by well recognized universities with products which create much improved and objective study outcomes. The decision pathway for new developments and considerations is extremely short, and MC Technology is investing approximately 80% of earnings into continued research and development.” The story of MC Technology GmbH and TheraMon® is very unusual, as it is very rare that a one-man company can become a global player and market leader in its chosen sector. Between 2006 and 2010, MC Technology developed a dedicated microchip named TheraMon® to monitor patient compliance in orthodontics, dental sleep medicine, orthopaedics and ophthalmology, and the device which works perfectly for thermos sensible logistics such as the transport of human blood samples.
