History
SciChart was founded by Andrew Burnett-Thompson in March 2012. Its origins trace back to doctoral research initiated in 2003, which led to the development of a GPU-accelerated 2D/3D charting library.{{Cite web |title=SciChart |url=https://www.f6s.com/company/scichart#about}}
Since its founding, SciChart has undergone several stages of development, including the launch of consultancy services, the addition of cross-platform support, and the introduction of SciChart.js for web-based applications.
The company's charting technology has been applied in a range of scientific and medical contexts. It has been used in the visualization of waveforms on nerve implants to assist in restoring natural walking ability in individuals with paralysis caused by spinal cord injuries.{{Cite press release |last=SciChart |date=2025-01-16 |title=From Data to Movement: The Breakthrough Helping Paralyzed Patients Walk Again |url=https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/01/16/3010563/0/en/From-Data-to-Movement-The-Breakthrough-Helping-Paralyzed-Patients-Walk-Again.html |access-date=2025-04-30 |website=GlobeNewswire News Room |language=en-us}} In 2019, the MirrorHR, developed using SciChart, was designed to monitor and help prevent epileptic seizures in children. The project won the Microsoft Hackathon that year.{{Cite web |title=Data Visualization for the Epilepsy research Kit for Kids |url=https://www.scichart.com/blog/data-visualization-for-the-epilepsy-research-kit-for-kids/ |access-date=2025-04-30 |website=SciChart |language=en-GB}} It was selected for nuclear fusion research by the Chinese government and the Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences.{{Cite web |last=Vestey |first=Sheldon |date=2025-03-20 |title=Announcement: SciChart Selected for Pioneering Nuclear Fusion Project by Chinese Government |url=https://www.scichart.com/announcement-scichart-selected-to-power-signal-processing-fusion-research-by-chinese-government/ |access-date=2025-04-30 |website=SciChart |language=en-GB}} Its technology contributed to the analysis of superconductors via the Super X device and supported a world record of 403 seconds for stable fusion.{{Cite web |title=SciChart |url=https://scichart1.rssing.com/chan-30259034/latest.php |access-date=2025-04-30 |website=scichart1.rssing.com}}
