ADVANCING RESEARCH  TOWARDS CLINICAL APPLICATIONS!

• A service providing platform, based upon the cutting-edge IT application (“Cartool” the “gold standard” for high-density electroencephalogram [hdEEG] analysis developed over the past 25 years by the group of Prof. Michel at Unige FacMed), providing users with customized services* as needed to understand disturbances of neural networks in patients with brain dysfunctions and later implement therapies to help them (as presently used for certain epilepsy and tumor pathologies). * Customized services: (instructions, one-on-one teaching, controlled experimental design, data analysis techniques, and validated interpretation of the results).

• A diagnostic tool enabling personalized forefoot healthcare, by use of a medical device providing rapid quantitative-based data of the forefoot instability for medical practitioners to identify issues and monitor efficacity of treatments. Forefoot instability or hypermobility is associated with the development of several foot disorders such as hallux valgus which affect about one-third of the population and causes pain and disabilities.

• A third cutting-edge project, to be announced soon.
