Procyonsoft contributed analytical calculations and data-visualization support to published prenatal research examining the relationship between placental thickness and fetal cardiac and extracardiac dysfunction.
Collaboration overview
The study investigated whether increased placental thickness was associated with the presence and severity of fetal cardiac and extracardiac findings during the third trimester. The research was published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine in October 2025.

Research focus
The retrospective study analyzed 1,452 third-trimester fetal echocardiograms. Diagnoses were organized into severity-weighted categories covering:
- Congenital heart abnormalities
- Functional cardiac dysfunction
- Extracardiac malformations
- Extracardiac dysfunction
The study reported that increased placental thickness was associated with a greater cumulative burden of fetal dysfunction, with the strongest relationships appearing in extracardiac and functional cardiac findings.
Procyonsoft contribution
Procyonsoft contributed analytical calculations and data-visualization support through Daniel Rochatka. The collaboration reflects Procyonsoft’s ability to bring computational analysis, software engineering, and information visualization into interdisciplinary scientific work. Clear calculations and graphics help research teams examine complex findings and communicate results in forms that can be reviewed, published, and extended.
Technical expertise in interdisciplinary research
This collaboration demonstrates how Procyonsoft’s technical capabilities can support research beyond conventional software-product development. Relevant capabilities include quantitative analysis, research software, data processing, visualization, reproducible computational workflows, and technical communication.
