our story
User driven innovation
°MEQU was founded in 2011 by Ulrik Krogh Andersen. On request by the Danish military the Danish Technology University (DTU) was looking for an effective portable blood warmer, and the development process was made in close collaboration with the military and medical experts ensuring that the product would meet the requirements from the military.
°MEQU was awarded the red dot design award in 2018. In the evaluation the jury emphasized that the high-tech content does not mean it has to look like an intimidating technical device. The minimalist expression is stylish and signals user-friendliness, and the intuitive design reduces the risk of human errors and delays.
Vision & Mission
Our vision is to reduce the number of cases of hypothermia and improve the survival and recovery rate of severely injured patients. We believe in faster, better and more intuitive treatments in critical situations.
Our mission is to make it possible to provide warm blood to any bleeding patient – regardless of where the injury takes place. Being in a remote place far from a hospital should never justify giving patients cold fluids.
Board of directors
Our board of directors is a team with extensive experience from the medical device and life science industries and are actively involved in the development of °MEQU. In °MEQU we value our board members, who have a strong track-record and in-depth insight into our industry, customer segments as well as experience in building global companies – bringing us from a more R&D focused company to a successful international sales company. Some of our board members are also some of our investors who support our journey.
