In 1996, we created, in collaboration with the SNCF (French rails) , a study on the comfort of their train seats. The result of this research and collaboration was an ergonomics measurement tool set. We also determined a unique model which allows us the understanding of discomfort and beginning of musculoskeletal problems. This unique model is grounded on a very innovative vision and clarifies the determinations of the interactions between the biology, the mechanics of the body, and the neurology. This collaboration with SNCF led to the creation of our company Cogitobio in 2000.

Historically, Cogitobio specialises in the evaluation of the comfort of the seat, most particularly in rail and aeronautical transport. Since then, Cogitobio has developed in many other sectors, such as helping designers and product developers to improve their products with an ergonomics approach. We have also been working with the study of workstations through the notion of the accessibility. People with reduced mobility, musculoskeletal disorders have been taking into account in our studies. We are developing Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) which is an assessment method aimed at quantifying the environmental impacts of a product or service.
