Our work - Scalable systems. Tangible impact.

At Helix Forge, we believe innovation should be pragmatic. Our mission is to build modular, high-performance systems that solve real-world problems—fast. Each of our core platforms is designed to be reused, remixed, and scaled across industries, allowing us to deliver enterprise-grade solutions without starting from scratch every time.

The result? Proven architectures that power fintech, healthtech, and data-driven startups—each iteration more robust than the last.

Case studies

Helix Genetics Internal Project

AI Research and Development

Cutting-edge Gastric Cancer Detection Initiative

In an ambitious internal project, Helix Genetics is developing a CNN-based solution for gastric cancer detection, leveraging insights from a significant Japanese study.

This initiative marks a pivotal advancement in medical diagnostics, promising near-perfect accuracy and integrating directly with scanning equipment for real-time physician feedback.

Our collaboration with Japanese researchers has been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of what is possible in early cancer detection. The precision of our CNN model is a game-changer for the medical community.

FamilyFund

Web development, CMS

Skip the bank, borrow from those you trust

FamilyFund is a crowdfunding platform for friends and family. Allowing users to take personal loans from their network without a traditional financial institution.

We developed a custom CMS to power their blog with and optimised their site to rank higher for the keywords “Gary Vee” and “Tony Robbins”.

Working with Studio, we felt more like a partner than a customer. They really resonated with our mission to change the way people convince their parents to cash out their pensions.

Unseal

Blockchain development

Get a hodl of your health

Unseal is the first NFT platform where users can mint and trade NFTs of their own personal health records, allowing them to take control of their data.

We built out the blockchain infrastructure that supports Unseal. Unfortunately, we took a massive loss on this project when Unseal’s cryptocurrency, PlaceboCoin, went to zero.

Helix Genetics did an amazing job building out our core blockchain infrastructure and I’m sure once PlaceboCoin rallies they’ll be able to finish the project.

Phobia

App development

Overcome your fears, find your match

Find love in the face of fear — Phobia is a dating app that matches users based on their mutual phobias so they can be scared together.

We worked with Phobia to develop a new onboarding flow. A user is shown pictures of common phobias and we use the microphone to detect which ones make them scream, feeding the results into the matching algorithm.

The team at Helix Genetics went above and beyond with our onboarding, even finding a way to access the user’s microphone without triggering one of those annoying permission dialogs.

Jenny Wilson, CPO of Phobia

We approached Helix Forge because we saw their platforms in action. They adapted one of their core systems to meet our exact needs—faster and more cost-effectively than we imagined.
