WYSS-CENTER
29.9.2021 11:02:05 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
The Wyss Center announced today the CE (Conformité Européenne) mark Class I medical device for its Epios Cloud software. Epios Cloud is a web-based application for the online storage, processing and review of neural signals, including the ultra-long-term data recorded by an emerging generation of devices for remote brain monitoring. Its novel features allow seamless navigation of datasets covering months and years while access through a web browser allows clinicians to access patient data anywhere and anytime.

With the flexibility to connect to brain - or other bio-signal - recording devices over the web, Epios Cloud provides insights on multiple long-term data sources enabling clinicians to develop bespoke analytics to support personalized clinical decision making.
Clinicians are increasingly seeking options for outpatient neural monitoring over weeks to months. In epilepsy, home-based monitoring of brain activity during everyday life will help characterize the type and number of seizures, improve diagnosis and pre-surgical planning, and help build personalized treatment plans.
“We developed Epios Cloud as we needed software that would track not only when seizures occur but also the biosignals linked to epilepsy events. Epios Cloud allows us to synchronize neural data with heart rate or movement information over months or years. It gives us a glimpse of what is really going on in the brain during every-day life. In the future, additional data streams could easily be integrated into the platform to support other clinical applications. Importantly, centralized data storage will allow a fundamental change in automated analysis of neural data, allowing artificial intelligence algorithms to learn on an ever-growing global data lake – the development of which is already underway.” said Aleksander Sobolewski , PhD, Wyss Center Neuroscientist.
While current electroencephalogram (EEG) software is primarily optimized for the review of neural recordings that last minutes to hours, Epios Cloud is poised for the transition to longer-term recordings of weeks to months. Clinicians can also annotate the data with real-life events and develop novel analytics to automatically present regions of interest to complement visual screening.
George Kouvas , MBA, Wyss Center’s Chief Technology Officer said: “Epios Cloud is set to reveal new insights about epilepsy in individual patients – paving the way for personalized therapies. Now that Epios Cloud is CE marked, we look forward to connecting it to more brain recording modalities and to bringing this innovative long-term brain monitoring platform to more clinical or outpatient settings across Europe and beyond. Epios Cloud also has potential for use in stroke rehabilitation as well as neuromodulation of brain circuits for mental health applications.”
Epios Cloud is medical device software of Safety Class A as per IEC 62304 and CE-marked as Class I as per the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC. Epios Cloud is intended for displaying and reviewing electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings made by EEG devices using scalp and sub-scalp electrodes, heart rate and accelerometer measurements. The device is intended to be used by qualified medical practitioners. CE marking indicates that a product has been assessed and deemed to meet European Union safety, health and environmental protection requirements.

Vultr, SUSE & Supermicro Debut Unified Cloud-to-Edge Architecture for Global AI Scaling6.5.2026 14:00:00 CEST | Press release
The strategic partnership bridges the gap between regional cloud and the far edge, combining ruggedized hardware and GitOps-driven Kubernetes to streamline large-scale AI deployments Vultr, the world's largest privately-held cloud infrastructure company, in collaboration with SUSE and Supermicro, today announces a strategic architectural framework designed to solve the complexities of deploying and operating AI workloads across distributed environments. As AI moves closer to the point of data creation - from manufacturing floors to retail storefronts - organizations face significant challenges in latency, cost and operational consistency. This joint initiative provides a seamless, Cloud-to-Edge pipeline that integrates high-performance hardware, localized cloud infrastructure, and unified Kubernetes management. The partnership addresses the reality that sending all data back to a central cloud is no longer viable for real-time AI. The solution breaks down the infrastructure into three
Waiv Enters Collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo to Deliver AI-Derived Biomarkers for ADC Program6.5.2026 14:00:00 CEST | Press release
Waiv, formerly Owkin Dx, to leverage its digital pathology platform encompassing foundation models and AI methodology for ADC biomarker discovery program Waiv, formerly Owkin Dx, a Paris-based company catalyzing AI precision testing, today announced it has entered a collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo (TSE: 4568) to lead digital pathology biomarker discovery for an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) program. With deep expertise across diverse pathology and multimodal data, and a global data network spanning academic institutions, hospitals, and laboratories, Waiv has a proven track record delivering AI-powered biomarker solutions across the full drug development lifecycle. Under the collaboration, Waiv will apply its end-to-end computational pathology platform to early phase data. This includes tumor microenvironment (TME) analysis across both hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) stained samples, as well as biomarker discovery and outcome prediction capabilities aimed at
