Who you are, what does your project do, and why did you build it?
I am Laurin Gerdes, founder and CEO of fracto, a digital learning platform designed to transform medical education and training. Our project offers a modular, AI-driven eLearning solution tailored to MedTech and healthcare organizations. It enables scalable, interactive training for medical professionals while ensuring compliance and enhancing patient safety.
We built fracto to address critical challenges in healthcare education: outdated teaching methods, limited accessibility, and the rapid evolution of medical technologies. Our vision is to empower organizations with tools that bridge knowledge gaps, improve skill acquisition, and ultimately lead to better patient outcomes.
