Swiss Medica
A clinic built around one idea: activating a patient's own adipose mesenchymal stem cells so that they replace damaged cells, applied to chronic neurological, metabolic and autoimmune conditions.
Swiss Medica began in 2011 in Lugano, when a group of scientists, physician-inventors and a Swiss businessman met at a conference. The stated vision is that treatment outcomes are never final and are always to be improved on.
The primary approach is to make the patient's own cells treat their own body: dormant adipose mesenchymal stem cells are activated to differentiate into the cells needed, and then replace damaged cells. The clinic publishes case studies and statistical reports on its results.
For chronic conditions where conventional treatment has run its course and the patient wants a regulated Swiss setting for cell therapy rather than an unregulated one abroad.
