mina app

The mina app is a holistic compass through all cycle phases that combines tracking, reflection, and prevention with exercises and strategies for nutrition, exercise, and sleep. It uses scientifically sound data models and user participation to develop data-driven health reports that evaluate individual cycle journals. In contrast to classic apps, it combines symptom and emotional diary, laboratory values, and analyses into personalized reports that promote self-care and facilitate communication with professionals.

• Holistic tracking, reflection, and prevention across all cycle phases
• Data-driven, personalized health reports combining symptom, emotional diary, and laboratory values
• AI-assisted Cycle Analytics to predict duration, phases, and analyze symptoms and intensity levels
• Advanced analyses including Pattern/Trend and Correlation & Regression Analysis
• Local-only data storage (on-premises) ensuring privacy and identity binding

BioAI4LCMS

An industry–academia collaboration (Genedata, University of Bern SEG, HES-SO Valais) to build AI-assisted LC–MS software that automates method development and data interpretation. Using self-learning models and heuristic optimization, the platform refines data processing, peak detection, and noise reduction to deliver faster, reproducible, and scalable analyses across instruments and labs.

• Adaptive LC–MS workflow automation
• Self-learning processing & peak detection
• Heuristic optimization for method setup
• Integration with Genedata Expressionist
• Standardization and scalability across labs

CEPEF-HARAT

A doctoral project with the University of Zurich, the Swiss Data Science Center, and the CEPEF consortium to develop the first ML-based tool for predicting mortality risk in equine anaesthesia. Built on the CEPEF4 dataset (>48k cases from 94 centres), the work cleans and structures heterogeneous data, applies NLP/LLMs to free-text fields, and advances explainable models for transparent, clinically useful risk assessment.

• CEPEF4 dataset (>48k anaesthesia cases)
• NLP/LLMs for free-text structuring
• Explainable AI (e.g., SHAP, LIME)
• Clinical risk stratification for horses
• Collaboration with UZH, SDSC, CEPEF

NeoCurve

An MSc project at UKBB that predicts the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve (ODC) shift as a physiologic marker of gas-exchange efficiency in preterm infants. A data-efficient, interpretable ML approach estimates ODC shift from as little as one or two SpO₂–PiO₂ points, validated across multi-centre datasets and deployed as a clinician-oriented web tool.

• ODC shift from 1–2 SpO₂–PiO₂ points
• Physiology-grounded, interpretable model
• External validation across datasets
• Streamlit annotation platform
• React/Flask bedside decision-support app
