Piyo Labs’ Core Principles

As independently developed software, Piyo Labs values the integrity, reliability, and transparency that research use requires.

01

Thoughtful independent development

Piyo Labs develops research software independently and with care, focusing on tools that researchers will genuinely use.

02

Freely Designed by Researchers

You can freely design every part of your project, without being limited to any specific research field.

03

Data That Stays on Your Device

All data handled by rVAS — project settings, subject information, and experiment results — is stored only on your device. Nothing is sent to an external server or synced to the cloud.
