visiõnclínic introduces two types of eye exams to improve prevention and control of visual health
visiõnclínic, the ophthalmology clinic of barnaclínic+ and Clínicas Mi, has introduced two new services focused on the control and care of visual health: the Visual Health Pack, with a complete ophthalmological examination, and the Visual Acuity Pack, an eye exam focused on the assessment of visual acuity and prescription check. These new services make it possible to undergo a professional eye examination tailored to each patient’s needs, from a basic vision assessment to a complete ophthalmological check-up with advanced diagnostic technology.
The aim of this initiative is to facilitate access to regular eye exams, essential for the early detection of visual alterations or eye diseases that in many cases do not produce symptoms in their initial stages.

Omniscope arrives at the Sports Medicine Unit to enhance performance and prevent injuries
The Sports Medicine Unit of barnaclínic+ and Hospital Sant Joan de Déu has incorporated Omniscope, an innovative artificial intelligence-based technology applied to healthcare that enables analysis of the immune system with unprecedented precision. This advancement allows the integration of immune system analysis into sports medicine clinical practice, opening new possibilities in diagnosis, athlete monitoring, performance enhancement, and injury prevention. From now on, the Unit’s professionals will provide medical guidance, result interpretation, and clinical follow-up to Omniscope users. Patients will also be able to access this tool as part of their medical evaluation.

barnaclínic+, first private center in Spain with ACORYS®, non-invasive cardiac mapping technology for complex arrhythmias
The Arrhythmia Unit at barnaclínic+, made up of specialists from Hospital Clínic de Barcelona such as Dr. Ivo Roca and Dr. Andreu Porta, is the first private center in Spain and one of the first in Europe to incorporate ACORYS®, an advanced non-invasive cardiac mapping technology that allows the heart’s electrical activity to be analyzed with great precision.
The ACORYS® system, developed by Corify Care, a spin-off of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, represents a new generation of cardiac electrophysiology tools based on mathematical modeling and artificial intelligence applied to clinical practice. This innovation marks an advance in the diagnosis and treatment of complex arrhythmias, as it makes it possible to obtain a global electrical map of the heart in just a few minutes and in a single heartbeat, helping identify the origin of certain heart rhythm disorders.

Obesity and heart failure: what changes with the new European indication for tirzepatide
March 4, World Obesity Day, is an opportunity to remember that obesity is not an aesthetic issue but a complex chronic disease with a direct impact on metabolic and cardiovascular health. In this context, the recent extension of the European indication for tirzepatide —the active ingredient of Mounjaro— in patients with obesity and heart failure opens a new therapeutic scenario.
To understand what this change really means, we spoke with Dr. Jesús Blanco, endocrinologist at barnaclínic+ and the Hospital Clínic of Barcelona, and with Dr. Pedro Caravaca, cardiologist specializing in heart failure at the Hospital Clínic of Barcelona. Both agree on a key point: obesity must now be addressed as a chronic inflammatory disease with systemic consequences, especially for the heart.

Robotic cardiac surgery at barnaclínic+: a consolidated program with 11 interventions performed in 2025
The robotic cardiac surgery is today one of the most advanced forms of minimally invasive cardiac surgery, making it possible to treat complex heart conditions with the same effectiveness as conventional surgery, but with significantly less surgical trauma. In this context, barnaclínic+ performed 11 robotic cardiac surgeries throughout 2025, integrating this highly complex technique into its private clinical activity.
These procedures were carried out by a team with extensive experience in robotic cardiac surgery, which has accumulated more than 400 procedures performed and is currently considered one of the reference teams in Europe in intracardiac robotic cardiac surgery.

barnaclínic+ addresses electroporation as a new treatment for atrial fibrillation on the “Salud (t) Plus” podcast
Following the first episode of “Salud (t) Plus”, the barnaclínic+ podcast that launched the format with the real-life experience of Ares Teixidó, who shared how she has learned to live with type 1 diabetes, this new episode focuses on electroporation, an innovative treatment for atrial fibrillation, one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias. Through a patient’s testimony and the medical team’s experience, the podcast brings this new ablation technique closer and explores its real impact on quality of life. The protagonist of the episode is Montserrat Bel, a barnaclínic+ patient, who explains first-hand how she has lived for years with episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, the constant fear caused by the unpredictability of symptoms, and the emotional and physical impact this has had on her daily life. She is joined in this conversation by Dr. Ivo Roca and Dr. Andreu Porta, specialists in Cardiology at barnaclínic+, who clearly explain what electroporation is and its role as an alternative to conventional ablation techniques.

barnaclínic+ incorporates two advanced spinal surgery techniques for faster and less invasive recovery
The Neurosurgery Department at barnaclínic+ has incorporated two of the most innovative techniques for the treatment of lumbar spine pathologies: lumbar endoscopic surgery and the lumbar FFX system for facet fixation. Both techniques, part of the team’s commitment to minimally invasive surgery, help minimize the consequences of lumbar spine surgery, reduce recovery time and, in many cases, avoid more aggressive procedures such as traditional lumbar arthrodesis with screws.
