Software engineering for real systems

We build the software
real systems run on.

We partner with teams building devices, platforms and robots—taking the raw input a system produces and turning it into software people can act on, from firmware to interface.

Engineering, in practice

Posturometer — with Professor Silverio Di Rocca

A Posturometer measurement session: a person stands on the platform while an operator reviews the reading on a laptop.Clinicians running Posturometer measurements in a blue-lit clinic testing room, screens showing live posture readings.

One project shows the shape of the work: Posturometer, a posture-and-balance measurement device built with Professor Silverio Di Rocca. Six load cells stream weight data ten times a second — on its own, not something an operator can use in a session. Synaptic built the whole software stack: the firmware protocol, the real-time processing, the interface, and the infrastructure behind it.

How we work

What a team building a real system needs from software — the parts where the hardware, the data and the people using it meet.

  1. 01

    Firmware & device protocol

    Talking to the hardware — serial and I²C protocols, timing, calibration, the handshake between a device and a computer.

  2. 02

    Signal & data processing

    Raw input from sensors, documents or conversations, turned into structured, usable data.

  3. 03

    Interfaces & control

    The screens people work from, and the logic underneath — real-time where it needs to be.

  4. 04

    Integration & infrastructure

    Third-party connectivity, data capture and storage, reporting, and the test tooling to iterate fast.

“Working with Synaptic has been exceptional. We are very proud of the perfect work they delivered on our Posturometer software. Their team demonstrated remarkable expertise in medical software development and data analytics. The ability to transform complex biomechanical measurements into intuitive diagnostic visualizations has been instrumental in bringing our vision to life.”

A small team working close to the system

Synaptic works as an engineering partner — embedded with the team for the duration of a project, rather than delivering a spec and leaving. Our background is in real-time systems, data pipelines and the software that sits between hardware, services and the people using it.
