History
Grundium was founded in 2015 by Mika Kuisma, Janne Haavisto and Kimmo Alanen, who previously worked in mobile imaging and related technology development.[4]
In 2017, Grundium raised €2 million in funding, reported in the European technology press, to support commercialisation of its portable digital microscope scanner.[5]
From July 2018 to June 2020, Grundium coordinated an EU Horizon 2020 project titled GRUNDIUM (grant agreement ID 822227).[6]
A 2023 feature article reported that the company had expanded sales internationally, with approximately half of products sold in the United States, and that turnover had grown to €44 million in the prior year.[7]
Products and use
Grundium's Ocus series is described in peer-reviewed literature as a portable whole-slide imaging device with network connectivity that enables remote access workflows.[8]
In peer-reviewed validation work on frozen section diagnosis workflows, the Grundium Ocus system was reported as clinically validated and feasible for digitising frozen section slides in a routine workflow setting.[9]
In the context of EU-funded research coverage on portable microscopy, Horizon Magazine described Grundium’s approach as producing digital images from repeated scans with coloured light for remote specialist review, and reported a pilot use case in rural Kenya where images were shared online for review by a pathologist in Helsinki.[10]
