AINIGMA Technologies brings together a team of biomedical engineers, medical doctors and business consultants with a long track record in the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions, mainly, but not exclusively, for Healthcare applications. The team of AINIGMA has been involved in both research and commercial projects with different roles, which have given us valuable experience in the development of AI algorithms, alongside with expert consulting, cognitive knowledge and efficient project management of large-scale European and national projects. The diverse background of the team members allows us to identify and address real-life problems from multiple perspectives and promote the exploitable results effectively in the right market direction.
The vision of the team is to make the job of Healthcare stakeholders easier and more efficient.
The realization of this vision arises from the introduction of a set of AI solutions, by exploiting Big Data analytics and Machine Learning techniques to enable the provision of high-quality products and services.
