Introduction​

The principle of equality is recognised both at the international level and in Spanish legislation. Equality between men and women is a universal legal principle enshrined in various international human rights instruments and is likewise a fundamental principle of the European Union. Specifically, Article 14 of the Spanish Constitution proclaims the right to equality and non-discrimination on the grounds of sex.

Ley Orgánica 3/2007, of 22 March, on the effective equality of women and men (hereinafter, the LOI), aims to make effective the right to equal treatment and equal opportunities between women and men, particularly through the elimination of discrimination against women in any sphere of life.

The most significant aspect of this law lies in the prevention of discriminatory conduct and the provision of active policies to give effect to the principle of equality. This necessarily involves the application of the equality principle across the various spheres of social, cultural, and artistic life in which inequality may arise or be perpetuated — hence the consideration of the cross-cutting dimension of equality, a hallmark of modern anti-discrimination law.

In the employment sphere, the LOI establishes the duty of companies to respect the principle of equality, requiring them to adopt measures aimed at preventing any form of discrimination between women and men. Specifically, it refers to the development and implementation of an equality plan as an ordered set of measures adopted following a diagnostic assessment, including the strategies and practices needed, as well as a system for monitoring and evaluating their implementation.

To contribute effectively to the application of the principle of non-discrimination and its development — under the concepts of equal conditions for work of equal value — it is necessary to develop positive action, particularly in matters of hiring, pay, training, and working conditions in general. In this way, where candidates are equally qualified, preference shall be given to persons of the less-represented gender in the relevant professional group.

In view of the foregoing, we declare our commitment to implementing measures aimed at maintaining equal treatment and equal opportunities between men and women, in accordance with the requirements of the applicable legislation.

The company was incorporated in 2020 by a team of researchers from the UPV/EHU who began working together in 2017 on a research project applying artificial intelligence and computer vision algorithms to the early detection of skin cancer.

Our mission is to develop and commercialise computer algorithms to assist dermatologists through artificial intelligence in diagnosing conditions, monitoring lesions, measuring treatment effectiveness, and supporting primary care. This mission is especially significant considering that, according to the WHO (World Health Organisation), skin diseases are among the most common of all human health afflictions, affecting nearly 900 million people worldwide at any given time — meaning that 15% of the world's population could potentially benefit from the device, in addition to healthcare professionals themselves.

Recognising the importance of establishing an Equality Plan, we are committed to implementing the necessary measures through this plan, with due diligence and dedication, and with the firm objective of preventing any form of employment discrimination between women and men, and achieving a balanced situation between both sexes — aligning with European policies aimed at eradicating all forms of discrimination in the workplace.

The purpose of this document is to regulate and give effect to the principle of equality between women and men within the company, establishing general principles, determining the basic actions to be implemented, and embedding the principle of equal opportunities within the organisational structure.

As of the date of this Plan's approval, the workforce comprises 26 people, of whom 16 are men and 10 are women, meaning that 61.5% of the workforce is male and 38.5% is female. A detailed breakdown is provided in Section 3 (Diagnostic Assessment).

Management commitment​

Management declares its commitment to establishing and developing policies that integrate equal treatment and equal opportunities between women and men, without direct or indirect discrimination on the grounds of sex, as well as to promoting and fostering measures to achieve real equality within the organisation. Equal opportunities between women and men is established as a strategic principle of our corporate and human resources policy, in accordance with the definition of that principle set out in Ley Orgánica 3/2007.

In each and every area in which our organisation operates — from recruitment to promotion, including pay policy, training, working conditions and employment, occupational health, time management, and work-life balance — we adopt the principle of equal opportunities between women and men, with particular attention to indirect discrimination, understood as "a situation in which an apparently neutral provision, criterion or practice puts persons of one sex at a particular disadvantage compared with persons of the other sex".

Regarding both internal and external communication, we project an image consistent with this principle of equal opportunities. The principles set out above shall be put into practice through the promotion of equality measures and, in particular, through the implementation of this Equality Plan, with corresponding monitoring systems, with the aim of advancing towards real equality between women and men in the company and, by extension, in society as a whole.

To achieve this purpose, the participation of all team members shall be sought — not only in the drafting process, as established by the LOI, but throughout the entire process of development and evaluation of the Equality Plan, through the Equality Commission, which shall be constituted for this purpose.

This Equality Plan, together with the Occupational Risk Prevention Plan, shall lay the foundations for compliance with legal requirements in their respective areas, embedding values within the company and promoting a culture based on equal opportunities and equal treatment as an element of quality and a strategic value for progress, with the sole objective of achieving professional excellence in all its dimensions.

Equality Commission​

The Equality Commission (Comisión Permanente de Igualdad) was constituted on 10/11/2021 and its composition updated upon the approval of this Plan. Per Real Decreto 901/2020 Art. 5, the negotiating commission must have parity representation, with a maximum of 6 members per side. The current composition is:

Management representation​

  • JD-001 (acting as President for the purposes of this plan)
  • JD-006 (acting as Secretary for the purposes of this plan)

Workers' representation​

  • JD-003 (workers' representative)
  • JD-012 (workers' representative)

The Commission is responsible for driving the implementation of actions, as well as monitoring, evaluating, and controlling this Equality Plan, as set out in Annex III "Rules of Procedure for the Equality Commission".

Subscribing parties​

This Equality Plan has been subscribed by the following members of the organisation:

  • Representing Management and the HR Department: JD-001 and JD-006
  • Representing the workers for the Equality Plan: JD-003 and JD-012

The commitment to establishing the Equality Plan is agreed upon according to the following general principles:

  1. Maintain equal treatment and equal opportunities between women and men in the company (Art. 46.1 LOIEMH)
  2. Prevent and eliminate, if any exist, any circumstance or practice that generates or may generate discrimination on the grounds of sex (Art. 46.1 LOIEMH), whether direct or indirect (Art. 6 LOIEMH) — especially those arising from maternity, the assumption of family obligations, and marital status (Art. 3 and 8 LOIEMH)
  3. Specific positive action measures in favour of women shall be adopted to correct evident situations of de facto inequality with respect to men, should any exist. Such measures, which shall be applied as long as such situations persist, must be reasonable and proportionate in relation to the objective pursued in each case (Art. 11 LOIEMH)
  4. The participation and access of the members of the Equality Commission to all data and information relating to each phase of the Equality Plan development is guaranteed, provided that Ley Orgánica 3/2018 on Personal Data Protection and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) are not breached

The information and data received are confidential, with a firm commitment from all participants to their non-use for any purpose.

General objective​

The main objective of the Equality Plan is to guarantee due respect for the principle of equal treatment and equal opportunities between women and men within the company.

The specific objectives of the Plan are set out in Section 3 of this document.

Scope and validity​

In accordance with Article 46.3 of the LOI, the Plan applies to the entirety of the company — meaning all workers providing their services at all current and future work centres in the national territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where necessary, specific actions may be established to address the specific needs of particular work centres, areas, or departments.

The provisions of the Equality Plan are mandatory and generally applicable to all company personnel, regardless of their contractual modality or position held. Its content is variable and dynamic, and its measures shall adhere to principles of proportionality and be adjusted to the actual situation of the company at each point in time.

As an ordered set of measures oriented towards achieving the objectives specified herein — understanding that some objectives may be achieved before others, that the entry into force of specific measures may differ and be progressive, and that the special nature of positive actions means they apply only as long as the situations they aim to correct persist — this Plan is linked to the achievement of objectives, though the parties understand that its content must be updated after two years from its signing.

To this end, this Plan has a validity period of two years, extending from 10 March 2025 (the date of its signing and entry into force) to 10 March 2027.

Until a new Plan is agreed upon, the content of this document shall remain in force.

Negotiation of the next Plan must necessarily begin within three months following the expiry of this Plan's validity period.

Upon the indicated end date, a new Plan shall be approved, adjusted to the evolution experienced in the company. Should a new Plan not have been signed by that date, this Equality Plan shall be automatically extended for a period of four years.

For the purposes of prioritising and scheduling the implementation of the various measures provided for in the Plan, an action calendar is attached as Annex I.

Evaluation and monitoring system​

To guarantee the effectiveness of the Equality Plan and the achievement of its objectives, the Equality Commission — designated for the purpose of negotiating and subscribing this Plan — shall be responsible for its evaluation and monitoring.

This monitoring shall be carried out through periodic meetings, which must be held at least twice per year.

To this end, two meetings per year are agreed upon to supervise the effective monitoring and control of the measures to be applied, as well as to address any issues that may arise regarding equality between men and women or discrimination on the grounds of sex. The first shall take place during the first quarter of the year, and the second during the last quarter.

As a result of the evaluation, the Commission shall complete monitoring forms (Annex IV), which include the following data:

  1. Date of implementation and completion of the measure
  2. Description of the measure
  3. Objective to be achieved
  4. Target personnel
  5. Personnel responsible for implementation and execution
  6. Resources applied
  7. Monitoring and evaluation mechanisms
  8. Degree of measure implementation
  9. Degree of objective achievement
  10. Any other noteworthy circumstances

The evaluation and monitoring objectives include:

  • Control over measures effectively applied and those pending
  • Identification of barriers or obstacles to implementation, for strategy correction or modification
  • Enabling adequate analysis of changes within the company
  • Facilitating information on the Plan's implementation
  • Presenting the corresponding results evaluation report to the competent body, as required by applicable legislation

Right of access​

Access to information on the content of the Plan and measures related to the achievement of its objectives is guaranteed to all company personnel. All documentation relating to this Equality Plan and its activities is deposited in the digital repository accessible to all workers, and updates are communicated via internal email to each employee.

Anti-harassment protocol​

In accordance with Article 48 of the LOI, the company shall promote working conditions that prevent sexual harassment, harassment on the grounds of sex, and psychological harassment, through the application of a specific protocol.

This protocol, attached to this Plan as Annex II, aims to promote the prevention of harassment and to establish a channel for complaints or claims regarding such situations.

All team members shall contribute to preventing potential harassment situations through personnel awareness-raising and by informing the HR function of any conduct or behaviour they become aware of that could give rise to such situations.

Budget​

No grants have been applied for or received for the implementation of this Plan. The company shall allocate the necessary resources to implement, monitor, and evaluate each measure. Training agreed in the Equality Plan shall be carried out primarily using the training subsidy credit established by the State Foundation for Employment Training (Fundación Estatal para la Formación y el Empleo).

Modification procedure​

Per Real Decreto 901/2020 Art. 8.2, this Plan may be modified as follows:

  1. Any member of the Equality Commission may propose modifications in writing, specifying the reasons and the proposed changes
  2. The Commission shall evaluate the proposal at its next ordinary meeting, or convene an extraordinary meeting if the matter is urgent
  3. Modifications require agreement by both management and worker representatives within the Commission
  4. Approved modifications shall be documented in writing, communicated to all team members, and registered in REGCON if they affect the Plan's essential content
  5. Discrepancies that cannot be resolved within the Commission shall be addressed through the applicable collective bargaining dispute resolution procedures

LGTBI equality measures​

Per Real Decreto 1026/2024 (effective 10 January 2025), the company implements the following measures for the equality and non-discrimination of LGTBI persons:

  • Training and awareness actions on LGTBI diversity, integrated into the general equality training programme
  • Use of inclusive language in all internal and external communications, avoiding assumptions about gender identity or sexual orientation
  • Extension of all family-related benefits (parental leave, work-life balance measures) equally to diverse families
  • Specific protections for trans workers, including respect for chosen name and gender identity in all internal systems and communications
  • An anti-harassment protocol specifically addressing LGTBI-based harassment, integrated into the general anti-harassment protocol (Annex II)

REGCON registration​

Per Real Decreto 901/2020 Art. 11, this Equality Plan must be registered in REGCON (Registro de Convenios y Acuerdos Colectivos de Trabajo y Planes de Igualdad) within 15 days of signing. JD-006 is responsible for submitting the registration electronically through the REGCON platform.

Diagnostic Assessment​

Per Real Decreto 901/2020 Art. 7 and Art. 46.2 of Ley Orgánica 3/2007, the following diagnostic assessment has been conducted using data from FactorialHR, disaggregated by sex. The data reflects the workforce composition as of the date of this Plan's approval.

Workforce composition​

WomenMenTotal
Headcount101626
Percentage38.5%61.5%100%

The overall gender ratio is 38.5% women / 61.5% men. While close to the general workforce balance, this indicates a moderate underrepresentation of women.

Distribution by professional group​

Professional groupWomenMen% Women
Management (JD-001, JD-002, JD-005, JD-007)1325%
Technical — Software & Data (JD-009, JD-010, JD-014, JD-017)050%
Operations & Quality (JD-004, JD-006, JD-012, JD-023)40100%
Business & Commercial (JD-002, JD-016, JD-019, JD-022, JD-025, JD-027)3537.5%
Clinical & Research (JD-018)010%
Pending assignment2250%

Key findings​

  • Technical roles (Data Science, ML Ops, Frontend Development) are 100% male — this is the most significant area of gender segregation
  • Operations, Quality, HR, and Administrative roles are 100% female — inverse segregation
  • Management positions (excluding JD-001 General Manager, held by a woman) are predominantly male
  • Business and Commercial roles show a more balanced distribution (37.5% women)

Age distribution​

Age rangeWomenMen
25-2913
30-3446
35-3932
40-4411

Average age: Women 34.3 years, Men 31.9 years. The age distribution is broadly similar between sexes.

Seniority and tenure​

Tenure rangeWomenMen
< 1 year33
1-2 years55
2-3 years14
3-5 years10
5+ years04

Average tenure: Women 1.7 years, Men 2.5 years. Men have significantly longer average tenure, primarily because the founders and early employees (all male) have been with the company since its incorporation.

Turnover analysis: Historical data shows a higher turnover rate among women than men. This pattern warrants further investigation to determine whether there are systemic factors contributing to female attrition.

Contract types​

Contract typeWomenMen
Indefinido (permanent)612
Pending formalisation42

All active contracts with defined terms are permanent (indefinido). No active temporal contracts exist. All employees work 40 hours per week (full-time).

Compensation analysis​

Pay by professional group​

The following table expresses average female compensation as a ratio to average male compensation within the same professional group (1.00 = equal pay).

Professional groupWomen : Men ratioSample
Management1.14 : 1n=1 women, n=3 men
Operations & Quality—No men in group
Business & Commercial1.10 : 1n=3 women, n=4 men
Technical — Software & Data—No women in group
note

A meaningful like-for-like pay gap analysis is not possible for most professional groups because there are no mixed-gender groups holding the same role. The only role with both men and women is JD-019 Business Development, where the difference reflects seniority rather than unequal pay.

The absence of a gender pay gap in comparable roles does not eliminate the risk of structural inequality — particularly the concentration of women in lower-paying administrative roles and their absence from higher-paying technical roles.

Overall compensation summary​

MetricWomen : Men ratio
Mean salary1.06 : 1
Median salary1.08 : 1

Overall mean and median favour women.

Training​

No formal training records exist in FactorialHR at the time of this diagnostic. Training tracking is managed through the QMS (GP-005 Human Resources and Training). No gender-disaggregated training data is available for analysis.

Improvement area: Progressively establish tracking of training hours and type disaggregated by sex.

Work-life balance​

In the 2025-2026 period, 5 employees (both men and women) have taken parental leave, with an average duration of approximately 13 weeks. Both sexes have made use of parental leave entitlements, which is a positive indicator of co-responsibility. Male employees have taken substantial parental leave periods, suggesting the company culture supports this.

Diagnostic conclusions​

  1. Occupational segregation is the primary equality challenge: technical roles are exclusively male, while administrative/support roles are exclusively female
  2. No gender pay gap exists for comparable roles — pay differences are driven by occupational segregation, not unequal treatment
  3. Female turnover is significantly higher than male turnover — root causes should be investigated
  4. Work-life balance measures are used equitably by both sexes
  5. Training data is not tracked by sex — this gap should be addressed progressively
  6. Female underrepresentation in technical roles and long-tenure positions is the most actionable finding
