Our Customers Say

We asked ScienceSoft to create a program that could generate a physician’s report from the analysis of single samples by flow cytometry as well as data from EHR/LIS systems. This was not an easy task.

In addition to the solid technical expertise shown by ScienceSoft, its developers demonstrated a profound understanding of laboratory software specifics and integrations. I am particularly impressed by the cooperative nature of ScienceSoft’s team. Our project required coordination with multiple companies and individuals. ScienceSoft worked well with everyone.

ScienceSoft has been a competent partner for medical software development. We would recommend them as a trustworthy vendor. We would recommend hiring ScienceSoft to anyone looking for a highly productive and solution-driven team.
