History of Company
Origins, milestones, and the legacy of MIM 2000 since its founding.
Founding
MIM2000 history in an n-dimensional cube:
- The company was founded on 13 September 2000 by colleagues S. Vachek and Z. Pavliš, and from the outset positioned itself as a provider of IT solutions for non-IT problems — technical and organisational in nature — the primary product being an information system for hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
- In April 2014 Petr Žemla assumed leadership in close collaboration with colleagues D. Talíř, M. Řehák, and T. “Shaddack” K.J. In the following years cooperations expanded: with the previous co-owners in early experiments with telemedicine support applications (monitoring potentially hazardous situations in people convalescing after discharge from medical care); into new technological domains — thermal compensation with colleagues from RCMT CTU Prague; studies into air pollution indication via mass-spectrometric detection techniques and piloted drones in cooperation with R. Tomášek; and FEM development and applications with the FemCalc crew.

Technology Context
Scientific and technical background of the domains where MIM2000 has built expertise.
Telemedicine
Telemedicine bridges distance between patient and healthcare provider using telecommunications infrastructure. The MIM2000 application addressed the critical post-discharge gap: patients transitioning from intensive clinical care to home convalescence lose structured monitoring. Remote parameter tracking provides early-warning signals for deteriorating conditions, reducing preventable readmissions.
Air Pollution Detection — TOF Mass Spectrometry
Time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) enables high-sensitivity rapid identification of molecular species in complex gas mixtures. Coupling portable TOF-MS instruments with drone-based atmospheric sampling delivers spatial resolution in pollution mapping unavailable from fixed stations — enabling source attribution rather than only concentration recording. The MIM2000/Tomášek collaboration explored instrument integration, data acquisition, and spatial interpolation methodology.
Finite Element Method — FemCalc Cooperation
The Finite Element Method (FEM) is the dominant numerical technique for engineering simulation: structural analysis, thermal behaviour, electromagnetic fields, fluid dynamics. FemCalc provides FEM as a web service, removing the barrier of on-premise solver installation. Cooperation with the FemCalc team bridged numerical simulation capability with practical engineering decision support — particularly relevant for the thermal compensation domain shared with RCMT.
