In 2025, Alma Medical celebrates 20 years of leading technological transformation in the field of medical imaging. Founded in 2005 by Dr Javier Herrero Jover and Jordi López, the company has evolved from its beginnings as a visionary idea to improve precision in plastic surgery to become an international benchmark in advanced medical imaging solutions.
A vision that was ahead of its time in radiological digitisation
It all began with Dr. Herrero’s need to quantify volumes in breast reconstructions. This challenge led to the creation of pioneering software capable of visualising and interacting with 3D models based on radiological images, laying the foundations for the birth of Alma Medical.
“What we did not imagine was that this technology would be key to the imminent digitisation of radiological services,” as expressed by the president and founder, Dr Herrero Jover. In this way, in addition to offering a solution to a specific problem, he anticipated the massive digitisation that we have experienced in recent years in the sector.
Milestones and international recognition
One of the most exciting milestones was when Alma Medical first presented its technology at the RSNA Annual Meeting. Shortly afterwards, intracoronary virtual navigation was validated at the prestigious Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Although it had not yet been clinically implemented, it had great potential.
Innovation and commitment
Over the past 20 years, Alma Medical has demonstrated its ability to adapt and anticipate technological advances. After integrating its radiology viewer into more than 40% of Spanish hospitals, the company successfully expanded into Latin America in 2015. Its migration to the cloud in 2020, the adoption of Artificial Intelligence and the continuous development of data-driven solutions have marked new stages of growth and innovation.
As Dr Herrero states, “Looking back, I see that we have learned to ride the waves of innovation. Adaptability has been our strength.” In fact, if Alma Medical excels in one area, it is in its ability to integrate data management with Artificial Intelligence to create global solutions that help healthcare professionals improve medical care for hundreds of thousands of patients.
A revolutionary future
Alma Medical’s 20th anniversary is not only a celebration of the past, but also a firm commitment to the future. “Time has shown that technology in medicine is advancing exponentially, and at Alma, we continue to pursue greater challenges,” says Dr. Herrero Jover.
The company continues to innovate, combining medicine, engineering and artificial intelligence with an intergenerational team to face new challenges, always with a clear goal: to improve patients’ lives through advanced technological solutions.
In the words of the president and founder: “The future is to imagine it and build it, always close to the patient.” Alma Medical maintains this commitment intact after twenty years and will continue to lead the technological revolution in the medical field, accompanying healthcare professionals for many years to come.
