We develop medical Microneedle Applicators for end-users and conduct research services on applying microneedles.

As the world is getting more and more connected, our problems are getting more connected too. As we have seen in the past years the covid-19 virus spread through the world in no time. With a lot of money and effort, the wealthier countries of the world are beginning to control the spread. However, these measures will not be available for the entire world. Healthcare should be a fundamental human right and should be available for every person on earth!

uPATCH specializes in the research of applying microneedles and developing microneedle applicators. uPATCH was founded by Bart van Oorschot and Koen van der Maaden. During his PhD on microneedle application, Koen discovered that properly piercing microneedles into the skin was paired with a lot of issues. This is where Koen contacted Product Designer and Highschool friend Bart van Oorschot. This collaboration was the beginning of the mission to make end-user microneedle applicators that enable everyone to apply microneedles to themselves. Let's make healthcare available for everyone on earth!
