Frederico did his Masters in Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering in FEUP, Portugal before attending programs in start-up acceleration and technology commercialization, which were both completed in 2015. Before founding Adapttech, Frederico was a researcher for a Portuguese research group, BioStar, in bio-related image processing and analysis.
During his Masters degree, he realized that there was a gap in the health market: most of the research efforts in this field were directed to find the definitive solution to a problem, and that there was no one trying to find a solution that would improve the quality of life of people with physical limitations while the definitive solution does not exist.
Frederico’s vision led to the development of the company’s lead product, INSIGHT, which is designed to improve the fitting process of lower-limb prostheses. It combines a laser scanner, biosensors, wearable technology, and a mobile app to make it faster and easier to correctly fit prostheses and monitor a patient’s rehabilitation process.
Adapttech was founded in 2015 and within a year of launching the company, the team had grown to 10 people and continues to expand. Now the company has around 20 employees and three offices in different countries: United Kingdom - HQ, Portugal – R&D, and United States - Sales.
In 2021, Fred was chosen as one of Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Europe Class of 2021, in the Science & Healthcare category. Frederico is now part of the world’s most impactful community of young entrepreneurs and game-changers.
