The future of neuroimaging analysis is here and Qynapse is leading the way. For clinicians on the front lines, for patients and their families, for payers, and for pharma – we offer peace of mind by providing results you can trust. Headquartered in France, in the United States and in Canada, the Qynapse team, with our world-renowned team of scientific and clinical partners, is wholly dedicated to aspiring to bring the entire neuroscience community and their patients the clearest, most accurate and reliable predictors and objective measures of devastating CNS disorders such as Alzheimers disease, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. We are constantly evolving, refining and testing our FDA-cleared and CE-marked neuroimaging software platform, QyScore®, which is powered by proprietary Artificial Intelligence, to provide physicians, pharma researchers and payers a reliable layer of precision when reading an MRI scan. QyPredict®, our predictive research-use-only platform powered by machine learning algorithms, is being designed to transform what we know about CNS disease trajectory, with the potential to dramatically increase the likelihood of a successful clinical trial. Together, we are moving forward to a brighter and more accurate future of diagnosis and treatment for central nervous system diseases.

Were hiring worldwide! https://wandercraft.welcomekit.co/ At Wandercraft, we believe movement is freedom. Since 2012, our mission has been simple but bold: restore mobility where it’s been lost, and expand what’s possible with robotics that move like people do. We see robotics as the ultimate partners—machines that can do what humans cannot, or should not, do. That means giving back the ability to walk to someone with a spinal cord injury, or stepping in on a factory floor where work is too heavy, repetitive, or hazardous. We pioneered the world’s first self-balancing exoskeleton—technology that doesn’t rely on crutches or walkers, but lets people stand and walk freely. Today, our work goes beyond healthcare. From rehabilitation centers to factory floors, and soon into homes and communities, we’re shaping a future where humans and robots move forward together. Our technology, powered by physical AI and 30+ patents, is life-tested in the most demanding environments: real people, real steps, real work. Meet our devices: Atalante X – A self-balancing exoskeleton enabling hundreds of patients with mobility disabilities to take over 1 million steps per month in 100+ leading hospitals and research centers worldwide. It is designed to promote upright posture, cardiovascular health, neuroplasticity, and—most importantly—upright independence. Eve – The world’s first self-balancing exoskeleton for personal use. Designed for daily life, Eve enables individuals with severe mobility impairments to walk hands-free at home and outdoors. Currently in U.S. clinical trials, Eve is expected to launch in 2026. Calvin-40 – Our first industrial humanoid robot. Autonomous and voice-operated, Calvin-40 is built to take on physically demanding or hazardous tasks in non-ergonomic environments. Based on the same platform as our exoskeletons, Calvin is already hard at work with Renault Group and more.
