BayONE Scientific
Chinese neurotechnology company (Guangdong Yiwan Life Technology Co., Ltd.; founded 2020; Guangzhou headquarters on the International Bio Island) building AI-driven behavioural-phenotyping instruments and data platforms for brain science and CNS drug discovery — smart cages, multimodal data capture, and deep-learning behaviour analysis. See automated-cognitive-testing-devices for the platform landscape.
Key facts
- Product philosophy: smart cage (input) → multimodal heterogeneous data → multimodal deep learning → biological insight → R&D decision tree.
- BehaviorAtlas platform: 3D-AI behaviour capture for mice and non-human primates; eye-tracking (freely-moving and head-fixed), VR control, face analysis, motor-function, scratch, optomotor and realtime modules; 50+ IP items (invention patents and software registrations); core 3D-AI behaviour-analysis method published in a Nature sub-journal (2021).
- Cloud/AI: EthoAI behaviour-analysis cloud; EthoAgent model. Forthcoming (2026 milestones): HCM “smart furniture” home cage; fully automated eight-paradigm fine-motor behaviour assessment system.
- Scale and funding (company-reported): 200+ research laboratories, 50+ user publications, 80+ staff (5 PhDs), tens of millions of RMB raised cumulatively (including a 2024 A round); national high-tech enterprise (2023); MIIT AI-application typical case (2026); Shenzhen animal centre (2,100 m² SPF facility, 10,000+ rodent cage positions, CRO services) and Jiaxing manufacturing base.
- Selected collaborations: automated fine-motor assessment systems for mice/rats with the CAS Institute of Neuroscience (Shanghai; cebsit); NHP drug-efficacy screening with a Shanghai primate CRO; two-photon + behaviour combined recording; partnership with Pfizer (2026).
- Confidence note: scale/funding figures are company-reported and not independently verified; no peer-reviewed validation of platform-scale claims.
