The Problem: There is a lack of standardized systems and tools
The Solution: SoftMouse a proprietary enabling technology that provides data management
Value Proposition: Provide real time data management benefits to mouse genetic researchers
The Problem
Despite the pervasive use of mouse genetics in life science research investigation, there is a lack of standardized systems and tools to safely keep records of mouse breeding, mouse history and mouse genetic experiments. Currently researchers are using a wide variety of paper-based and electronic methods, often self-engineered, to conduct their genetic experiments. Use of such systems is often frustrating and time consuming for the researcher as they now face the challenging task of managing an explosion of data that result from their genetic experiments. In addition, such systems pose barriers to secure storage, access, analysis, searching, updating and backing up of experiment-related information as well as to the timely sharing of records between researchers.
With an ever-increasing reliance on and use of mouse model studies, the development of a data management solution for mouse genetic researchers is a pivotal strategic requirement for the ongoing progress and advancements in biomedical research.
The Solution
Iseehear's first product module to be released is SoftMouse. SoftMouse is a proprietary enabling technology that targets and provides a data management solution for mouse geneticists and related researchers.
The SoftMouse application was developed to satisfy the need of mouse geneticists for a straightforward and user friendly recording system to track the data associated with mouse model experiments in order to reduce time-consuming, costly, error-prone, paper-based recording systems currently in use. The goal is to save time and resources associated with mouse experiments and mouse maintenance, and to increase information management and transparency of data.
SoftMouse acts as a centralizing environment to record, store, protect, search and share mouse experimental data.
Value Proposition
The SoftMouse record-keeping system would provide the following benefits to mouse genetic researchers:
By streamlining mouse colony information, researchers can:
- Reduce time and resources expended on mouse colony maintenance
- Eliminate mouseline redundancies
Transparency of data records allows for:
- Improved planning and experimental design
- Enhanced sharing of data for collaboration and verification purposes
Centralizing research data in an online system results in:
- No upfront set up and hardware costs
- Remote access to system from any location
- Easy communication between researcher and animal facility
