In Slovakia we are often complaining about health care and its poor-quality services. But if we look at it globally, our health care is much better than in half of the countries in the world. In countries like Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda is health care provided in extreme condition with low technical equipment.
Could this situation be changed with a young student of medicine?
Is it possible to reconcile demanding studies with the internal need to help?
We can find the answers in motivation to do things different and to approach life differently. For example, using technologies in a different way. To connect medicine with technologies and use their potential in the countries that we usually see only in pictures. One Slovak start-up decided to interconnect humanitarian aid with technology and to provide better health care. They invented a small portable medical device that can work wonders in prevention.
Martin Pekarčík is studying the fourth year in Faculty of medicine in Comenius University in Bratislava. In 2018 he became one of the 30 best students. He is teaching in his free time mountain guides. For some time, he worked in the Slovak start-up called Virtual Medicine, which created the application "Human Anatomy". Because of this application students of medicine and the teachers can dismantle the human body in detail via virtual reality and educate themselves. He currently leads the start-up “S-Case”, which is developing a point of care medical device designed for third world countries. With this project he won Slovak and world competitions such as the University World Start-up Cup in Copenhagen, Slovak University Start-up Cup, Forbes investor Car-pitch and PlayPark European Finals in Venice.
