GAiAPSE brings SOPHiA GENETICS’ worldwide network to life, showing the interconnected institutions fueling data-driven medicine
-
SOPHiA GENETICS is a NASDAQ-listed MedTech company developing AI-powered SaaS solutions for precision medicine. Its portfolio supports clinicians in oncology and rare diseases by analyzing complex genomic data, leveraging a global network of institutions to continuously refine diagnostic accuracy through shared, anonymized intelligence.
-
SOPHiA GENETICS held vast adoption datasets describing a global clinical network, yet lacked tools to explore, interpret, and communicate them effectively. Insights were difficult to extract, while communication relied on static spreadsheets and generic visuals disconnected from real data.
-
We conceived a unified system for analysis and communication—combining rigorous data modeling, interactive visualization, and narrative design to serve both strategic insight and authentic storytelling, while remaining accessible to non-technical audiences.
-
Built entirely in-house, GAiAPSE integrates interactive maps, charts, force-based simulations, and natural-language querying. I led its creative and visual direction, ensuring consistency, clarity, and scalability across dashboards, presentations, scrollytelling experiences, and live event installations.

DISCLAIMER
The data shown in the following visuals have been generated using a randomized dataset, due to the sensitive nature of the actual information. None of the presented data should be considered as reflecting SOPHiA GENETICS’ proprietary client information.
Operational Efficiency
At the heart of GAiAPSE is the interactive global view of SOPHiA GENETICS’ network. This visualization makes visible what had previously been buried in spreadsheets or static maps: the geographical distribution and temporal evolution of the company’s footprint.

Engagement & Storytelling
GAiAPSE is not only a tool for internal analysis—it has become central to SOPHiA GENETICS’ communication strategy. By turning real adoption and usage data into authentic, visually consistent assets, it helps replace generic stock imagery in traditional materials while extending into live engagement. Configured to display only non-sensitive data, the platform powers interactive touchscreens at events, giving audiences an intuitive way to explore the network and experience the company’s impact firsthand.
“Your video came across so clearly to a lay audience, conveying the point we needed to make simply and graphically. I am so impressed with what you created in such a short amount of time!”
Strategic Insight
GAiAPSE goes beyond high-level visualization of SOPHiA GENETICS’ community, empowering executives, marketing teams, and product leaders to explore adoption and usage data in depth. By combining spatial, temporal, and categorical perspectives—enhanced by the Assistant feature for instant query-based navigation—the platform delivers a clear view of market expansion, product evolution, and network dynamics over time.
“The Gold Award goes to Jean-Baptiste Mignardot & Emmanuel Pignat for GAiAPSE created for Sophia Genetics. This platform transforms complex global operational data about genomic profiles and healthcare institutions into an interactive 3D experience that delivers clear, data-driven insights for strategic decision-making and public engagement.
This visualization does more than inform, it inspires, and engages. With openness about its methods and outstanding visual quality, it’s a powerful tool for communication and action. Congratulations!”
Impact
GAiAPSE elevated how SOPHiA G. understands and communicates its global clinical network. It accelerated the production of high-quality, data-driven visuals, replacing static slides and stock imagery with authentic representations of real adoption data.
Executives leveraged the platform in governance meetings, and strategic reviews to clarify network dynamics, and portfolio evolution. Interactive explorations strengthened engagement across audiences, while the introduction of natural-language querying improved efficiency—enabling faster insight generation, and more confident, data-backed decision-making.
