With university origins and visionary goals
PEDeus AG was founded in the summer of 2018 as a subsidiary of the University Children's Hospital Zurich. The name PEDeus stands for "Pediatric decision support" - our core competence.
In the beginning of 2019, we launched the innovative, web-based tool "PEDeDose", whose software was certified as a Class IIa medical device in December 2020. PEDeDose supports healthcare professionals in making decisions about drug dosing and thus ensures the safe use of pharmaceuticals.
PEDeDose was initially designed exclusively for children. With the new version, which has been available since the end of June 2025, PEDeDose can now also be used for adult patients. This is particularly exciting because dosage adjustments for renal insufficiency can be calculated with just a few clicks – for both children and adults.
Our vision
PEDeus Health will perfect drug therapy and safety in children and adults through clinical decision support. With the help of innovative web-based tools, healthcare professionals are supported in their decision-making and sick children and adults can be given individually tailored drug dosages.
ISO and MDR certificates confirm our high quality
As a provider of a medical device, it is our concern to meet the highest quality standards. We are therefore pleased that PEDeus has received from the notified body TÜV SÜD both the ISO 13485:2016 Certificate for "Design and Development, Production and Distribution of Clinical Decision Support Software for Healthcare Professionals" and the Quality Management System Certificate according to the EU Regulation on Medical Devices (MDR). Our quality management system thus meets the strict requirements that apply to the medical device industry in Switzerland and the EU.
