In the interview "VALAB, 35 Years of Symbolic AI Serving Medical Biology," Dr. Eric Rogari, Director of VALAB, recounts the history and vision of the company, a pioneer in symbolic AI applied to medical biology.

Created at the Toulouse University Hospital in the 1980s, the Valab® solution was built around a clear objective: to automate medical validation while guaranteeing maximum safety. 

Today, the Valab® solution analyzes approximately 800,000 medical reports per day worldwide.

Dr. Rogari also highlights the key role of Hervé Philippe in developing the first expert rule engines, as well as the gradual transformation of the university prototype into an industrial solution deployed in more than 12 countries.

Based on symbolic AI, Valab® stands out for its deterministic, explainable and compliant approach that meets the requirements of medical validation.

The company continues its development, particularly internationally, while remaining true to its independent model and vision: to secure medical validation through a reliable, transparent, and secure expert system.
