Common situations

When I can help

01

A new project to define

Start with your needs and data to design a new tool, add a product feature or simplify time-consuming work.

02

An idea to put into practice

Choose a method, develop a first version and test what it brings before committing to the next stage.

03

A team that needs extra capacity

I take on development or analysis, solve scientific problems and work alongside your team without a new hire.

Engagements for healthtech, medtech and biotech companies, R&D teams, consultancies, training organizations and private healthcare providers.

Ways to work together

A clear scope and a useful deliverable

We agree on the intended result, work and budget before starting. I can take on a defined assignment or reserve days to work with your team regularly.

Quote based on scope

A short assignment, with the scope agreed together

Identify where AI or data analysis can help your products and teams.

  • Business needs and available data
  • Ideas for tools or product features
  • First implementation to test and expected benefit
  • Work plan and budget estimate
Define a project together
A working first version

Prototype / proof of concept

Typical budget: €8,000–€15,000

Typically 4–8 weeks

Build a first version of your tool and measure its value for a specific use case.

  • Reference method and success criteria
  • Reproducible development and analyses
  • Testing and improvements within an agreed scope
  • Prototype, documentation and recommendations
Plan a prototype

Focused feasibility review

AI & data diagnostic

Decide whether a specific idea merits investment: data review, technical options and a decision memo. Typically 1–2 weeks.

Discuss feasibility
From €950

Focused evaluation

Technical model audit

An independent review of an existing model: protocol, robustness, bias, reproducibility and recommendations. Typically 2–4 weeks.

Discuss a focused audit
Typical budget: €3,500–€6,000

Knowledge transfer

AI / LLM training for healthcare

Use cases, prompt design, limitations, validation, confidentiality and best practices adapted to professional roles.

From €1,400 per half-day

Continuity

Monthly scientific advisory

The entry package covers up to one expert day per month, delivered as one workshop or two half-days.

  • Monthly steering session and experiment prioritization
  • Review of two short items: protocol, results or decision memo
  • Decision summary and focused asynchronous exchanges within the agreed allowance

Not included: production development or analysis, continuous availability, clinical validation, certification or regulatory advice. The quote fixes the volume, cadence, deliverables and response times.

Scope a monthly engagement
From €1,500 / month Exact scope confirmed in the quote

Indicative budgets, adjusted to scope, data quality and security constraints. A precise quote is provided before every engagement.

Method

A simple, traceable collaboration

01

Discuss needs and define the work

Discuss your needs, tools to build or improve, available data and the objectives of the work.

02

Proposal and quote

Duration or fixed scope, exact price, number of iterations, deliverables, validation criteria and payment terms.

03

Delivery and handover

Progress reviews, validated deliverables, documentation, final debrief and transfer to your teams.

Public expertise and methods

Research and code you can examine

My publications and their code document my methods for design, development, analysis and evaluation.

PLOS Computational Biology · 2023

Multi-dataset predictive protocol with public code

Analysis of four public datasets using penalized regression, 10-fold cross-validation repeated 100 times and open code so that the analysis can be checked.

What this documents: protocol design, multi-dataset comparison, out-of-sample evaluation and reproducibility. It is neither a client case nor clinical validation.
ACM TOMM · 2025

Quantitatively evaluated image pipeline

A specialized image generation, encoding and editing pipeline, with quality and editing-level measures derived from real-data distributions.

View the ACM publication What this documents: complex pipeline construction, metric design and constraint checking. It is neither a client case nor validation of a healthcare model.
Methodological guide · French

Validating a predictive model in healthcare

Population, outcome, data leakage, dataset splitting, metrics, calibration, subgroup analysis, reproducibility and final decision.

Lire le guide de validation What this provides: an operational checklist that turns these principles into explicit audit criteria adapted to the project context.

Possible scopes

Types of topics that can be addressed

These examples illustrate possible scopes. They are not published client cases.

Working framework

Security, validation and explicit limitations

Controlled data

Work on data that are genuinely anonymised where feasible, on synthetic data, or directly within the client’s controlled environment under the applicable legal and security framework.

Documented validation

Baselines, data splits, appropriate metrics, error analysis and limitations recorded in the deliverables.

Responsible use

Prototypes support analysis and decision-making. They are neither certified medical devices nor clinical advice.
