scientific data, for

Because scientific data come from complex life systems and contain natural variability, BIOptimize has developed a unique data mining methodology using artificial intelligence. It allows for fast, comprehensive, visual results and drives scientists to their own intuitive conclusions. This methodology can be used to facilitate breakthrough discoveries in pharmaceutical/cosmetic design, personalized medicine, and nutrition. BIOptimize is currently developing a software they call BIOpticloud: online datamining for scientists with 9 unique and intuitive modules. BIOptimize has patented a very efficient anti-aging molecule discovered using its methodology (tests performed in Laboratoires Clarins).

Created in 2011 4 employees

IDOVA has developed Altercode, a multimodal information service that makes any written content accessible to those with low vision, sign language users, or foreign language speakers. IDOVA is now prototyping SIR, a neuromimetic intelligence system that provides its user with relevant information about surrounding sounds. In addition to its initial database, SIR will be able to progressively learn its owner's specific everyday soundscape. Through its visual interface (and vibrating alerts) it describes the perceived auditory disturbance. This human-machine cooperation is a progression toward human-machine symbiosis and the SIR's interface is designed to fit head-up displays.
