The digitisation of scientific laboratories is ongoing and often challenging. One hurdle scientists face is staying connected with their electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) from the bench. With multiple experiments to perform and data to record, multitasking can lead to wasted time and valuable research information being lost. However, the emergence of voice assistant technology developed by Elementa Labs for scientists offers a solution. The Elementa voice assistant allows for the hands-free recording of notes and data directly into the eLabNext platform, streamlining the research process and aiding in the complete digitisation of labs. By simplifying daily tasks and eliminating manual note-taking, scientists can focus on their experiments and make the most out of their time in the lab. This technology revolutionises traditional methods, leading to more efficient and accurate scientific research.

Inefficiencies that lead to wasted resources and slow down lab digitisation

Working closely with research labs in academia and industry, we gained insight into the hidden inefficiencies that lead to wasted resources and slow digitisation. Scientists often feel frustrated by their inability to easily access or transfer data, particularly from paper notes to electronic lab notebooks (ELNs). These small obstacles can add up, hindering overall productivity in the lab. Our collaboration with research labs allowed us to identify and quantify these inefficient processes, ultimately leading to the development of the Elementa voice assistant. For example, addressing disconnected access to electronic lab notebooks and streamlining data transfer from paper notes can save significant amounts of time and improve data quality. In fact, our efforts have increased productivity by 40%, saved researchers up to 30% of the time, and reduced reproducibility issues by 70%.

I believe that this is a very interesting time for the scientific research field, moving towards lab digitization. It is very exciting to work together with partners like eLabNext to accelerate this transformation process.

About Elementa Labs

Elementa is a highly specialized voice assistant for scientific labs. Elementa can integrate seamlessly with existing databases, systems and machines in the lab, making them smarter by creating voice-enabled labs. Accordingly, scientists can collect data accurately, automate experimental workflows and stay connected to their databases from the lab just by the power of their voice.

We are a team of scientists who know the struggles, challenges and costs of bringing drug therapeutics to the market. Our mission is to shift scientific research towards a more data-driven era. We accelerate early-stage drug discovery research into a more efficient, economic, and sustainable process. Simply, solving the small day-to-day challenges in the lab collectively contributes to the tremendous waste of lab resources. Ultimately, we aim to transform scientific research labs into more data-centric and data-driven.
