The company specialises in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms applied to microbiology and epidemiological issues.

U-ANT is the result of a research project entitled "Covid-19 company risk surveillance" funded by the Leonardo Del Vecchio Foundation in collaboration with the Department of Microbiology and Virology of the University of Padova.

U-ANT has developed a methodology called "ACORP+" targeted to large corporate companies. Through an initial anamnestic questionnaire and subsequent periodic recalls, the aim is to offer each individual within the comany a specific risk indicator. The method is based on cross-referencing of data relating to work conditions with environmental and epidemiological data.
