In a world where artificial intelligence is reshaping entire sectors, some entrepreneurs are successfully transforming traditional industries by connecting cutting-edge technology with consumers' everyday needs.
Ahmed Badaoui Badis is a Tunisian entrepreneur specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) applied to health and wellness. He is the co-founder and CEO of Vistasy Clinic, a company that develops technology to provide accessible, personalized dermatological analysis.
Founded in 2021, Vistasy Clinic employs AI algorithms, combining image processing, computer vision, and cloud computing, to analyze facial and skin characteristics. This approach generates personalized diagnoses comparable to those performed in a medical setting, but accessible via a smartphone or smart mirror.
The analysis process uses a simple, intuitive user interface, delivering detailed reports to help consumers understand their skincare plans. The method is intended to democratize access to advanced dermatological analyses typically confined to specialized clinics.
Vistasy Clinic targets both professional and consumer markets with tailored solutions. For the professional market, the company offers smart mirrors for use in cosmetic brand retail spaces. For general consumers, a mobile application allows users to perform personalized facial analyses from home.
Badis graduated from the National School of Engineers of Tunis (ENSIT), where he earned a master's in industrial computing and automation in 2015, followed by a Ph.D. in electrical engineering in 2019.
He began his professional career in 2016 at Datavora, an e-commerce data company, working as a data scientist and data science consultant. In 2018, he joined the Finnish company Recon AI as a data scientist and computer vision engineer. The following year, he held the same roles at Incubit, a technology company based in Japan. Most recently, in 2020, he worked as a computer vision engineer at the Tunisian software development firm Panthera.
