Quality and Regulatory Affairs Specialist

Sonio’s mission is to improve detection, diagnosis and care of congenital malformations and rare diseases, thus improving parents’ journey throughout pregnancy, enabling better outcomes for the future baby, reducing liability for physicians and reducing healthcare costs.

Today, Sonio develops an AI-enabled software, used by sonographers and ob/gyns during fetal ultrasound examination to improve their diagnostic performance. The technology relies on two patented algorithms and an expert proprietary database. As a standalone software, Sonio’s first product, Sonio Diagnostics, is an intelligent decision tree, using only inputs from practitioners and real-time computing multiple type of data (phenotype, genotype, blood tests) to guide towards the next most probable sign and diagnosis. We help diagnose benign anomalies as well as rare genetic diseases or other polymalformative syndromes. Our everyday motivation is to see our technology improve the daily routine of physicians and daily life of future moms and children all around the world.

Our team is our main asset, mixing strong expertise, complementary skills with creative, optimistic and voluntarist spirit. CEO (Bain, Bpifrance) and CSO (PhD Polytechnique) cofounded Sonio with 3 expert ob/gyns from Hopital Necker and 2 datascience experts from Ecole Polytechnique.
Thanks to our January 2021 fundraising, we had the chance to hire a strong leadership team (CTO, Business Developer, Product Manager) and work with a great team of developers, UX-designers, and experts in quality/regulatory affairs, medical affairs and marketing. We have been selected and accelerated by Paris Biotech Santé, Deeptech Founders and WILCO Healthcare. We have mentors among the most successful entrepreneurs in the field and our credibility is guaranteed by the prestigious background of physicians and mathematicians in the team.

Sonio was born in April 2020. In just 2 years, we’ve moved from a research project to an ambitious startup launched full speed to rapidly reach its first milestones: 1st product finalized and CE mark in May 2021, first sales in 2022, FDA project ongoing and ambitious product roadmap and new R&D projects.

We believe that team matters above all things. We want to create a balanced culture, valuing operational excellence as much as care for each other and for the project, putting medical value at the core. We believe that by understanding the needs and issues we contribute to solve, we will create the most economic value. We want to create a place where everybody is thrilled to come to work and succeeds professionally.

Our product roadmap is broad. Our strategy is to grow fast and become an international standard of care for prenatal diagnosis, fetal ultrasound and pregnancy care.
