Innovating early cancer detection: the Analogies story

However, Jérôme and the team aren't naively underestimating the challenges that lie ahead.

"The medical diagnosis domain necessitates rigorous certification processes, adding complexity and time to the integration of our technology into mainstream healthcare practices. Furthermore, we need to 'educate' our customers to the danger of oral cancer and the importance of an early diagnosis."

Overcoming these challenges requires strategic collaborations, regulatory navigation, and a commitment to advancing both technology and healthcare protocols.

For current students who aspire to become entrepreneurs, Jérôme emphasizes the importance of hands-on experience:

"Try to get a job in a startup before starting your own is an extremely valuable experience as you’ll learn a lot on the functioning of a startup from the inside. Embrace the learning process, be open to challenges, and surround yourself with a supportive network. Continuously seek knowledge, stay adaptable, and believe in the impact your startup can make."
