Digital tools built for research teams

From research project to production tool

We transform research projects into professional tools. Since our beginnings, we've been collaborating with laboratories and academic institutions to transform research results into functional applications. Our expertise: building the web and mobile tools researchers need to collect data, visualize results and deploy their innovations. We regularly integrate artificial intelligence capabilities into these projects, particularly for image classification and data analysis.

Our academic partners

EPFL — Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne

Our collaborations with EPFL span multiple laboratories and initiatives:

• LTS5 Laboratory — Smart Cervix app for cervical cancer detection via AI image classification
• Essential Tech Centre / CHUV Neonatology — BmAI app for combating malnutrition through AI morphological estimation
• College of Humanities — Lausanne Time Machine interactive web app for exploring historical data
• EPFL Innovation Park — Supporting startups and spin-offs born from research

HEIGVD — School of Engineering and Management Canton of Vaud

• Bytesim project — Figma plugin and web platform for evaluating the ecological impact of UX design choices, developed in partnership with HEIGVD

UNIL-CHUV — Rheumatology

• Detectra project — Multimodal remote monitoring system for inflammatory arthritis, in collaboration with UNIL-CHUV Rheumatology (Prof. Thomas Hügle). Mobile app (iOS/Android) and web dashboard. Computer vision, digital biomarkers, patient-reported outcomes.

Innosuisse projects

Two of our flagship projects — Pneumoscope and Detectra — are Innosuisse projects. We are familiar with the requirements of technical documentation, code quality, adherence to scientific methodologies, as well as the reporting rhythm and milestones specific to applied research.

Biopole ecosystem

Biopole, the life sciences campus in Epalinges (5 minutes from our offices), hosts 160+ companies and 25+ academic research groups — an ecosystem we collaborate with regularly. This proximity allows us to collaborate closely with digital health and life sciences stakeholders.

Technologies: React, Data Visualization, Interactive Table Partner: EPFL, Time Machine Europe

Bytesim — Measuring the ecological impact of design

Figma plugin and web platform enabling designers to measure the ecological footprint of their UX design choices. Design files exported via the plugin are analyzed by the platform to evaluate their environmental impact.

Technologies: React, Redux Toolkit, Figma Plugin API Partner: HEIGVD

Smart Cervix — AI for cancer screening

Mobile application developed in collaboration with EPFL's LTS5 laboratory and HUG. Secure clinical data collection and AI image classification to assist cervical cancer diagnosis.

Technologies: React Native, NodeJS, AI, CMS Partner: EPFL LTS5, HUG

BmAI — Fighting malnutrition with AI

Application developed in collaboration with the CHUV Neonatology Department, using artificial intelligence to estimate the weight and height of children in developing countries from a photo. A tool serving humanitarian workers.

Technologies: React Native, TensorFlow, Data Anonymization Partner: EPFL Essential Tech Centre, CHUV Neonatology

ApiZoom — Deep Learning for beekeeping

Mobile app for detecting varroa parasites in beehives using a Deep Learning algorithm. Concept validated in EPFL's lab, developed into a practical tool for beekeepers.

Technologies: React Native, Python, MongoDB Partner: EPFL, Apizoom Sarl

What we bring to research projects

Applied technical expertise

We know how to transform a laboratory proof-of-concept into a usable application: intuitive interfaces, secure data management, deployment to stores or internally.

Understanding of the academic context

We understand the constraints of research projects: phased budgets, reporting, multi-institution collaboration, sensitive data management.

Adapted technologies

Data respect

For projects involving sensitive data (medical, personal), we apply the strictest security standards: encryption, anonymization, Swiss hosting, DPA/GDPR compliance. Read about our digital health projects for concrete examples.

Academic collaboration process

From publication to product

Our collaborations follow a proven process adapted to the constraints of the academic world. We start by understanding the research results and the target audience for the application — whether healthcare professionals, researchers, or the general public. We then define a realistic scope that respects the phased budgets typical of Innosuisse projects.

For projects under CHF 150,000, EPFL laboratories can choose their implementation partner directly without a formal tender — a simplified process that allows for a quick start.

Communication and reporting

We participate in project meetings with academic teams, produce technical documentation compatible with the deliverables expected by funding bodies, and adapt our agile methodology to integrate scientific validation steps. This transparency is essential for maintaining trust between institutional and industrial partners.

Open-source code and EMBAG compliance

The Swiss federal EMBAG law (2024) requires federal institutions to publish their software under open-source licenses by default. We deliver documented, tested, open-source-ready code — an asset for EPFL projects and ETH Domain institutions.

Data security and ethics

For medical research projects, we place particular emphasis on ethics and data protection. Our applications comply with protocols defined by ethics committees (CER-VD), integrate informed consent into user flows, and guarantee data anonymization before any analysis. Swiss hosting via Infomaniak ensures that data never leaves Swiss territory, a criterion often required by partner institutions.
