PneumaCare

Venture Round in 2013
PneumaCare is focused on development of products for diagnosis and monitoring of respiratory disease using novel 3D imaging technology, developed by the University of Cambridge. The Company’s first product is a non–contact respiratory monitoring system for physician assessment, called PneumaScan™, which has clinical applications in a number of medical environments. Using PneumaScan™, patients can be assessed while breathing naturally or performing spirometric manoeuvres without the need to breathe into, interact with or contact the measuring device. PneumaCare's products, the PneumaScan™ family, enables clinicians to access many different patient-types, many of which are not within the capabilities of current clinical devices. The system is being constantly evaluated in clinical practice, currently at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital in London and in development laboratories at its design and manufacturing partner, Plextek. PneumaScan™ produces standard medical outputs for a broader portion of the population because it observes patients from a distance and does not impede the respiratory system as with current spirometer technology. Measuring from a distance means lower infection risk, less harm, reduced patient discomfort and minimal instrument running costs from having to replace or sterilise parts which have contacted the patient.

Doc Generici

Acquisition in 2013

Distribution started for real in 2001 when, following approval of law 405 of 16 November of that year, pharmacists became obliged to provide an equivalent medicine with the lowest price amongst those available on the normal regional distributive network, whenever a doctor prescribes a medicine without specifying that it is not to be substituted. Between 1996 and 2001 DOC Generici laid down the managerial, organizational and manufacturing foundations that enabled it to be among the first to enter the equivalent medicines market. On July 1st 2013 DOC Generici was acquired by Charterhouse Capital Partners LLP, a British Private Equity Fund and one of Europe's leading Private Equity Firms. This is the first investment in Italy by this large and historical Fund.
