About Our Products
Our primary product line, PhenoScan, is comprised of multiple independent software programs, each optimized for recording and analysis of unique behavioral phenotypes. Each system allows high-throughput, real-time video analysis of animal activity. After video analysis, our programs export the data in an easy-to-use spreadsheet format for statistical analysis.
Flexibility is important to us, and our systems can accommodate the needs of small academic labs as well as large commercial companies, and everything in-between. Clever Sys. products are used by government labs at the National Institutes of Health; academic labs at Johns Hopkins University and MIT's Whitehead Institute; pharmaceutical companies Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, and Merck; and independent research groups like the Howard Hughes Institute, the Salk Institute, and the Jackson Laboratory. Whether you have a few animals or a few hundred, Clever Sys. can work for you.
What Makes Us Different?
In addition to working with complex behaviors such as home cage behaviors of rodents and primate, social behaviors, animal seizures, stereotypic behavior under drug effects, all our products provide many unique parameters that others do not: turning ratio, proximity score, heading error, stretch-and-attend, head-dipping, body-across-2-zones, precise measurement of eating and drinking behaivors, and unconstrained circadian rhythm of behaviors, are just a few examples.
Our products differentiates themselves from others by providing Technologies of Next Generation:
- Using information of rodent full body, body parts, and temporal relations, not just a point in space
- Analyzing Complex Behaviors, by Extracting Semantic Meaning of Behaviors, and more Revealing
- Operating in Real Time and 24x7
- Analyzing Unconstrained Rodent Behaviors
- Providing High Throughput Behavioral Phenotyping
- Supporting a Variety of Behavioral Paradigms
- Using a Single Platform - Digital Video - for Different Behaviors
- Obtaining Objective Quantitative Measurements of Behaviors
- Allowing Training of the System to Detect User-defined Behaviors
- Achieving High Accuracy and Sensitivity
- Being Easy to Install and Easy to Use
- Providing High Flexibility for Outputs and being Compatible with Many Statistics Software
- Containing Systematic Definitions of Home Cage Behaviors for the First Time
- Requiring Little or No Human Intervention or Observation, after Initial Setup
Hardware
Keeping the company's vision to assist Life Scientists with obtaining the most accurate measures of animal behavior from their research, Clever Sys is pleased to announce the release of a hardware line. As the leader of video based behavioral recognition technology, Clever Sys is able to apply a similar concept to their hardware, optimizing the testing conditions for the best video based analysis. As with our software programs, we also have the capability to customize most apparatuses to your specifications, so if you don't see something, just ask! Much like our software, we manufacture hardware devices with novel and revolutionary concepts, such as the Empathy Chamber. Look for a comprehensive catalog to be posted soon!
