Innovation ignites when evidence-based medicine embraces pioneering technology
We’re a team of physicians, engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs striving to set new standards in allergy testing.
Our story
Hippo Dx, a MedTech startup, was born in 2020 out of the need for automation, standardization, and digitization in skin prick allergy testing. Today, 30% of the world's population suffers from allergies, but 45% face initial misdiagnosis. Co-founded by Senne Gorris, an ear-nose-throat surgeon, the limitations of manual testing prompted him to envision an innovative solution. Joined by Wim Hofkens, a Mechatronics Engineer, and Peter De Roovere, a Software Engineer, they developed S.P.A.T. (Skin Prick Automated Test), a state-of-the-art medical device for allergy testing.
Developed by physicians and designed for patients, S.P.A.T. offers faster, more accurate, and more consistent allergy testing in a cost-efficient way.
Our vision
Hippo Dx envisions democratising allergy diagnosis worldwide by making safe skin prick testing affordable and accessible to the public.
So, we aspire to revolutionise the allergy healthcare landscape, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for allergy patients worldwide.
