RockStep explores cutting-edge solutions for the in vivo lab of the future.
A critical first step before moving to human clinical trials, in vivo studies are largely hands-on and often depend on manual or basic data capture processes, including handwritten notes, spreadsheets, or in-house legacy systems. Use our Readiness Checklist to plan your path to technology-enabled workflows.
Future-Forward: A Readiness Checklist to Digitally Transform in vivo Research
Rapid technology advancements are accelerating the strategic necessity to modernize in vivo research. To transform the lab from outdated, manual processes, organizations need to consider embracing digital solutions. Only through advanced lab technologies and other digital innovations – artificial intelligence, electronic lab notebooks, IoT – will it be possible to leverage the data collected during in vivo research and enhance efficiency, data accuracy, and collaboration.
The paper offers a readiness checklist to guide organizations that are looking to embark on the journey of modernizing in vivo research through the strategic integration of technology into study workflows and animal management processes.
This Checklist provides a planning process that explores:
- The pain points and strategic imperatives for new system investments.
- The current state of processes and infrastructure versus the vision for the future state.
- The scope of digital workflows and prioritizing capabilities that bring the greatest benefits, depending on resources, infrastructure, expertise and vision.
- The challenges and objectives with data management practices and how modern data management solutions can improve how data is leveraged for analysis.
- How to determine the needs and priorities of key stakeholders and how to ensure buy-in.
