Science as a shield against mental load
Otilus combines cognitive science and design to create a truly intuitive experience, streamline work, and reduce mental load.
An approach grounded in cognitive psychology
Otilus builds on research in cognitive psychology and close collaboration with academics to design its tools. The teams scientifically explore how mental functions such as:

Perception, attention, and memory influence the way people interact with digital interfaces. Otilus draws on experimental methods and cognitive models to optimize user experience. - Analyzing and reducing mental load
This approach makes it possible to analyze and reduce cognitive load, measure user performance, and adapt the software to real mental processes, ensuring a more intuitive, reliable, and effective design.
Gestalt principles to support diverse cognitive profiles
