Global Innovators: Rewriting the Rules of Digital Health from Barcelona

In Episode 6 of DOCSF Global Innovators, we touch down in the vibrant city of Barcelona to meet Cristian Pascual, co-founder and CEO of MEDIKTOR and driving force behind the Barcelona Health Hub.

Cristian shares the journey from brainstorming sessions to building a clinically validated AI triage tool now deployed across multiple countries. As an engineer-turned-health innovator, he explains how MEDIKTOR mixes sharp tech with clinical relevance, and why Barcelona’s mix of hospital infrastructure, digital talent, and supportive government policy created the perfect launchpad. We also explore the creation of the Barcelona Health Hub inside a stunning UNESCO World Heritage site, once a hospital, now a thriving center of health tech collaboration.

This episode highlights how Cristian’s team is building healthcare's future, right from the heart of Catalonia.
