Advancing the state of the art.

Oak-Tree builds the instruments behind serious work: imaging platforms for clinics, digital twins from drones and satellites, sensor networks for the plant floor, and the data systems that hold all of it together.

What We Work On

One studio, many frontiers.

The problems that matter rarely respect a specialty. Our work crosses boundaries: imaging platforms, digital twins, sensor networks, and the data systems underneath.
Drone Hovering in a Field
Aerial & Satellite

Build it virtually. Run it physically.

Drone and satellite captures become point clouds and meshes, which are used for simulations and to train physical AI systems to help plan, test, and drive what happens on the ground.

Industrial & Utilities

Measured. Tracked. Known.

We put sensors where work happens, stream their readings through data pipelines, and integrate the information in dashboards operators trust. Oak-Tree builds the SHIFT platform, which helps contractors track loads, deliveries, and material use.

IoT & Edge

Sense. Decide. Move.

Open, auditable edge computers for rooms where mistakes cost. Sonador Gateway, built with Sonador AI, lets scanners and surgical robots exchange data, so the robot works from the same picture the clinician does.

Platforms & Data

Built to be inspected

The platforms we ship are open by design: readable code, standard protocols, and no lock-in. Root, a sovereign cloud platform built on Kubernetes, gives organizations access to data with the option to run it on your own hardware.

Health & Medical · Machine vision

We live in three dimensions. So should healthcare data.

A healthcare digital twin starts as a stack of images from a scan and becomes a model of a patient's unique anatomy and physiology: heart, hip, knee, liver, and the relationships between them. Through its work on the Open Source Sonador Medical Platform, Oak-Tree builds these types of twins and the tools to use them for simulation and treatment planning. This ensures that the ablation, procedure, or surgical plan has been rehearsed before it reaches a person.

Sonador provides segmentation, shape modeling, and simulation capabilities to researchers and developers solve clinical and scientific challenges.

Bring us a question no one has answered.

We partner with clinicians, engineers, and operators to design and build alongside you. When it's done, you have a system and an understanding of what it takes to keep it running.


Open by default.

Our platforms are public. You can read the code, run it, and leave with it. Lock-in is not a business model we like.


Research-grade, production ready.

The write-up ships with the software. If you want to see what we're thinking, our Lab Notes and Articles are how we think in public.


Sometimes a little crazy

Four studios on two continents, three companies spun out, and a lab bench that never quite gets tidy.

From first conversation
to production.

We learn your business, prototype fast, and deploy to the field in weeks or months. Along the way we build the infrastructure and the skills your team needs to carry it on.
1
Business Expertise, Domain Knowledge, and Experience

Oak-Tree operates at the intersection of technology, domain knowledge, and rigorous methodology. We craft data solutions that will work in the lab and field and we tailor them to your business and targets.

2
Releases In Weeks, Not Years

We use a rapid development process to help you prototype, assess your technology options, create a production trial, and deploy to the field in weeks or months rather than years. We follow agile software development methodologies to enable rapid delivery, adaptive planning, and a flexible response to change; and will work with your business experts to ensure that the final solution meets your needs.

3
We Understand Data Infrastructure

Need Kubernetes, streaming data platforms, cloud or on-prem? No problem. From Big Data to tiny data, SQL to NoSQL, search to storage, from cache to archive, Oak-Tree can help unify your architecture. Whether you are interested in a Big Data processing, high-availability multi-master SQL, a giant Cassandra instance, or a corporate data lake; we can help you design, deploy, and manage it on-premise or in the cloud.

4
We Build Your Capabilities

The software we create for people is completely custom, providing you with competitive advantage and allowing you to capture data that is unique to you. From there we can help develop advanced capabilities such as analytics, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence.

Oak-Tree can help you make investments in software, data infrastructure, aggregation/labeling, and data engineering that will unlock advanced capabilities and transform your organization. We can help you to plan and deploy systems; master data science, analytics, and machine learning; become comfortable with the systems that enable Big Data such as databases, NoSQL, search platforms, and streaming; and help your developers express complex ideas in code.
