About Forentrics

our mission

Crime scene investigations are crucial to any justice system. Unfortunately, forensic investigators often have to rely on manual work. Not only does this lead to lengthy and costly investigations, it also increases the risk of bias.

Forentrics is the product of a unique collaboration between KU Leuven University (Belgium) and the UZ Leuven University Hospital (Belgium). Using methods from the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), our aim is to accelerate and improve the workflow of forensic investigators and their institutes. With our tools, obtaining objective and scientifically sound forensic metrics has never been easier.

how can we help

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an indispensable tool in many aspects of our life. At Forentrics, we feel AI can play a similar role in criminal investigations, improving and accelerating criminal investigations, bringing advantages to all players involved.

Forensic Investigators

AI can significantly improve your workflow in different ways. By automating tedious manual work, your workload is reduced. You will also get results faster, which can be crucial in time-sensitive cases. Finally, the time you spend on a crime scene is shortened, reducing scene contamination and health-related risks.

Forensic Institutes

Eliminating time-consuming manual work can drastically reduce your expenses. Moreover, we strive to develop easy-to-use and intuitive software products that require no expensive hardware or additional training.

Justice System

Forentrics has a strong link with academia. We deliver tools based on published and peer-reviewed methods with quantifiable measures of accuracy, greatly reducing the risk of bias. By using our tools, analyses can be repeated, even after the crime scene has been clear. Moreover, results can easily be shared with experts around the world.
