Your New Lab Partner Is Like Alexa™, But With a Ph.D.
January 23, 2025 Voice-activated assistants have come a long way since 1952, when Bell Laboratories’ Automatic Digit Recognizer (AUDREY) was invented. The first personal computer with built-in voice recognition was released in 1984, although it had a limited vocabulary. In 1997, Dragon Naturally Speaking became a blockbuster product. In the last decade or so, deep […]
Reducing Lab Protocol Errors With LabTwin
December 19, 2024 Human errors are the most frequent cause of errors in the laboratory. Reducing these errors has been a key factor driving lab automation efforts. Lab automation has driven down the rate of human errors in the analytical phase of laboratory work, where instruments and analytical systems are involved. However, the unaddressed source […]
Capitalizing on FAIR Data from Your Voice-powered Laboratory Assistant
November 14, 2024 According to the 2021 State of Open Data report (the most recent year in which a question was asked about FAIR data), 54% of respondents (scientific researchers) thought their data was at least somewhat compliant with the FAIR data principles—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. This obviously leaves room for improvement. FAIR data […]
GxP Compliance Support With LabTwin
October 24, 2024 LabTwin is built on three pillars—its AI-powered large language model, its integration with the lab informatics landscape, and its support for general good practices (GxP); whether those be manufacturing, clinical, laboratory, or documentation. Previous blog posts described how the AI features in the LabTwin voice-powered digital lab assistant support the Lab of […]
Comparing Voice-activated Lab Assistants
September 19, 2024 Voice-activated lab assistants are becoming the new must-have feature in laboratory informatics. Once Siri and Alexa penetrated everyday life, it didn’t take long for scientists to think that a voice-activated assistant could be useful for their work, too. The first academic proof of concepts came as early as 2018. A year later, […]
Import, Export, Report: Increase Your Data Capture Rate
August 22, 2024 The heart of digital transformation is data capture coupled with reducing paper records. The requirement to transform digital documents between systems is ideally bypassed by keeping all functions contained in one system. When this is not an option, such as when recording bench observations and noting when supplies are low, then a […]
Realizing Pharma 4.0 with a Digital Lab Assistant
July 18, 2024 Pharma 4.0 is an outgrowth of Industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution. As envisioned by the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering, Pharma 4.0 will involve digitalization and automation necessary to develop very complex product portfolios and cycles. The digital transformation of manufacturing integrates technology up and down the value chain in the […]
Are you AI Digital Lab Assistant Curious?
June 20, 2024 As a scientist working in the lab, have you ever thought that it would sure be nice if you had an assistant that transcribed your documentation for you? Someone who was ready and willing to assist you at your spoken command? That set your timer and prompted you for required data? Perhaps […]
Optimizing Data Collection for the R&D Industry
May 23, 2024 All digital transformations need to start somewhere. It’s often recommended to start small when making a change of this magnitude. LabTwin, the voice-powered and AI-enabled digital laboratory assistant, is a good choice for beginning your digital transformation. It’s a low-cost solution with little-to-no down-time for implementation and a rapid learning curve. Despite […]
