Investment in medical devices has surged to heights not seen since 2021, with billions flowing into companies specializing in diagnostics and imaging. Despite rapid advancements, a core challenge persists: Essential medical equipment such as MRI scanners remain extremely costly—often running into millions—and are typically only found in major hospitals. The question remains: How can we transform these high-priced, hospital-exclusive technologies into solutions accessible everywhere?
Evan Kervella, who is the founder and CEO of the Paris-based startup Chipiron, joined Equity to discuss this challenge and share his approach to addressing it.
