IT’IS Foundation – Innovative scientific research to shape the future for the safe and beneficial application of electromagnetic (EM) energy in health and information technologies.

Founded in 1999, activities at IT’IS encompass interconnected initiatives ranging from engineering to medicine – EM Research, the Virtual Population, and IT’IS for Health.

IT’IS is the master for evaluations of near-field EM emissions, including those near radiating structures or inside the human body, from static fields to millimeter wave frequencies.

The IT’IS Virtual Population is the best detailed and validated library of computational human anatomical phantoms available for in silico device design, optimization, and evaluation

To bridge the gap from bench to bedside, IT’IS focuses on multi-physics, multi-scale simulation methods to optimize individual diagnostic, treatment planning, and therapeutic techniques

IT'IS also applies its knowhow and infrastructure to provide customized research solutions to academia, the wireless/medical device industries, governments, and regulatory bodies.

IT’IS Foundation Zurich Switzerland -
A Member of Z43.

Transforming the Future through Research.
