Our skills

Together we combine 570% of procedural, tech-based and human skills.

  • We focus on revolutionizing regulatory processes in healthcare. Through advanced research and collaboration, we develop new methodologies and technologies to streamline drug approval and safety monitoring. Our goal is to improve patient outcomes by driving transformative changes in drug regulation, ensuring the timely delivery of safe and effective treatments.

  • Agile methods attempt to break up cumbersome work processes and keep organizations flexible. They aim to work faster, more collaboratively and more efficiently in small and focused teams in order to move the organization forward. Nowadays, agile methods are used as tools to meet the demands of the digitalized and fast-paced world. Therefore, the use of such methods makes sense not only for young start-ups, but also for traditional companies that want to remain competitive.

  • Our team has developed a comprehensive set of internal visualizations to communicate complex information and data in an accessible and engaging way. These visualizations include a wide range of formats, including infographics that present key data and trends at a glance, as well as complex diagrams that provide deeper insights into specific processes and relationships.

The procedural.

  • Swissmedic 4.0 now has 3 years of experience in agile software development. We heavily use the agile framework Scrum, as well as Kanban and Design Thinking, to plan, manage and optimize projects. We are convinced that these methods help us to achieve highest quality results, speed and flexibility that meet the needs of our internal customers.

  • Swissmedic 4.0 also specializes in designing and developing end-to-end software applications for cloud environments. We manage every phase from conceptualization to productive deployments in order to ensure robust, scalable and secure applications. Our deep expertise in cloud technologies enables them to deliver innovative solutions that meet complex business needs.

  • Swissmedic 4.0 has most significant expertise in Machine Learning. With three skilled data scientists, we excel in applying advanced data science and machine learning techniques to create intelligent software solutions. Their work not only supports but enhances the capabilities of our colleagues, showcasing the ability to integrate predictive analytics and algorithmic solutions effectively into our operations.

  • Swissmedic 4.0 operates intensively in the field of Natural Language Processing, particularly large language models. Leveraging this specialized skill, we are developing cutting edge solutions for enhancing the efficiency and productivity of our internal customers. Our proficiency enables us to implement most advanced tools that significantly improve existing workflows and automate complex tasks.

The nerdy. 🤓

  • In various formats, we provide participants with an overview of current technological trends and social developments. This also includes recognizing the challenges and risks of these developments and how to minimize them. Last but not least, the potential of this ongoing process of change, which affects organizations, companies and private individuals alike, should be exploited.

  • At Swissmedic 4.0, we advance knowledge through LiveUpdate online events, e-learning modules, engaging videos, and sessions to share and gather knowledge. Our innovative formats make digital transformation and data science accessible, enabling Swissmedic to navigate evolving health regulations.

  • Further enhancing our contributions, Swissmedic 4.0 is committed to advancing data literacy across the organization. We have developed a comprehensive e-learning that is mandatory for all employees. This initiative ensures that everyone, regardless of their role, gains a fundamental understanding of data principles and analytics. By democratizing data knowledge, we empower our workforce to make informed decisions and leverage data-driven insights in their daily work.
