Generate and consolidate heterogeneous data to draw valuable insights through machine learning methods and advanced statistics.
- We are used to working with a wide variety of sources and types of data: public/external, proprietary/internal, live, structured or unstructured.
- Moreover, in our experience, publicly accessible data and its potential uses should not be underestimated.
- We can also generate specific data and fill specific gaps, drawing from Alcimed’s core activity and exploration expertise
- On that basis, we can use machine learning and advanced statistical techniques to extract valuable insights from data. This enables us, for instance, to detect trends, forecast outcomes, and categorize data into relevant groups.
Translate complex data into simple and insightful dashboards to facilitate communication and empower stakeholders. The primary goal is to gain knowledge from data in a new way.
Our focus is to improve information and knowledge sharing. Essentially, we turn complex information into easy-to-read visuals & charts that help stakeholders understand and share ideas easily, making things clearer for everyone. For instance, we’re often asked to consolidate data into a single location to provide an automated dashboard. This one-stop shop solution saves significant time by eliminating the need to repeatedly step into the right data and generate reports.
Automate workflows and augment teams with customized digital solutions and AI modules.
- When applicable, we can scan and select the best off-the-shelf and open-source solutions when available.
- If pre-existing solutions fall short of meeting specific requirements, our teams can help you conceive, design, and develop a custom and powerful in-house software tailored to your needs. We are also capable of incorporating AI when it can bring real added value.
Define and roll-out a strategic digital transformation roadmap, from identifying needs and priorities to ensuring the correct deployment and adoption of selected or co-developed digital and automation technologies.
Once the solution is ready to be deployed, the difficulty lies in deploying it within your ecosystem, mobilizing teams, initiating the first usages, and changing way of working to ensure wide user adoption. We can support you in this very last mile, facilitating adoption & technical scaling to make sure the deployment of the solution is a success. For that you can count not only on our technical support, but also our change management skills.

Examples of projects conducted for our clients in digital and AI
Creation of a dashboard converting natural language prompts into insightful graphs
A biotechnology stakeholder developed a new solution for diagnostics in oncology. They identified the analysis of the results as a remaining bottleneck in the diagnostic process, and wanted to offer a solution at this step of the value chain.
To help our clients, we developed a dashboard, that would convert simple questions into actionable insights. With our client’s input, as well as the insights of potential future users, we developed a dashboard that used state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP), to create meaningful graphs and extracted statistical parameters from the complicated underlying data.
Our project enabled our client to get an insightful dashboard while guaranteeing data protection and avoiding hallucination from the generative AI model.
Creation of the PoC of a data visualization dashboard leveraging AI for a biotech company
Alcimed supported a biotechnological start-up in developing an AI-powered dashboard for interpreting experimental results, transforming user queries into informative graphs for intuitive data analysis.
We conducted thorough research to identify the most suitable tools for platform development, including libraries and existing open-source projects, and then developed and tested the solution’s backend to ensure functionality and reliability. We crafted the graphical elements of the dashboard, aligning them with the client’s graphic charter for cohesive branding and user experience.
In the end, our team developed a useful interface that allowed to enhance our client’s R&D processes, offering valuable insights in a user-friendly format. This interface was not only intended to serve internal purposes but also to showcase a visually appealing aspect, impressing potential investors and clients and leaving a lasting impression.
Building of a project management software to plan and optimize commercial launches for a leading pharmaceutical player
Alcimed worked with a top pharmaceutical client to develop a comprehensive process and project management product-specific tool to plan and prioritize actions at the right timing to efficiently launch multiple products on hematology in a short timeframe.
At first, our team defined a clear vision of what the tool should be, key parameters, required data, and future use cases, including format, information granularity, and outputs desired. We then proceeded to define a set of operational activities (e.g. segmentation and targeting strategy, environmental field campaign, product availability, etc.) for the launch of a product to be implemented in the tool. For each activity, all the relevant steps for the launch of the product, the process evolution criteria, and associated decision processes were characterized and implemented in the final version of the tool.
In the end, we built a product-specific project management tool to optimize the process of the launch of several products within a short period. The intuitive and easy-to-use tool provided a clear visualization of the potential bottlenecks, teams’ planning, and the different activities details (“to-do lists”), enabling our client to sequence and optimize their product launches.
Predictive analysis of the potential launch of an oncology product
Alcimed supported a major healthcare industry player in modeling a business case to evaluate the opportunity for launching a new oncology product in 6 key markets over the next 15 years.
Our team collected epidemiology information and data on the usage rates of different health products that are available or under development to create a model of the evolution of the market size and the market shares in the concerned geographies.
We could thereby predict the future performances of a new health product launch thanks to time series analysis techniques.
Creation of an interactive monitoring platform on alcohol consumption for a top French wine association
Alcimed worked with a top French wine association to build their alcohol consumption monitoring platform to track and analyze the major trends on global, European, and national scales regarding the consumption of alcoholic beverages and societal indicators, with the objective to launch education and prevention initiatives.
To do so, our team first consolidated the global, European, and national data available on approximately 60 different alcohol consumption and societal indicators. We then analyzed and compared the data sets to build an optimal, sustainable data architecture within Power BI, followed by the design and configuration of relevant visualizations related to responsible consumption, to ensure an easy and effective interpretation of the insights (e.g., global alcohol consumption and sales evolution, French consumption frequency, etc.). In addition, our team built queries to clarify knowledge of alcoholic beverage consumption such as consumption rate, alcohol-related mortality, alcohol dependency rate, and more.
In the end, we developed for our client a one-stop monitoring platform, consolidating over 50 different data sources into a single interactive visualization tool, performing all operations end-to-end (data collection and consolidation, data transformation, data visualization in dashboards, and cross-query generation to identify correlations) to ultimately highlight the key takeaways, offering easy sharing of content, in any layout (presentation, print, and online access) facilitating the clients development of education and prevention initiatives aimed at the general public and professionals regarding health and prevention issues.
Identification of the dissemination of key themes in networks of Digital Opinion Leaders
Alcimed’s team of Data scientists has set up a machine learning model to conduct an unsupervised analysis of the topics mentioned on Twitter in connection with the American Congress on Diabetes, ADA2021, as well as Twitter user communities communicating on this topic.
Our analysis, published in our Data use case 2, makes it possible to highlight 2 communities concerned mainly by different topics with the visualization of networked data.
