Computational Team

Over the summer, we studied biologists in their lab and observed their work practices. We interviewed biologists and asked what were their challenges in the lab. We brainstormed with them what were possible solutions to their problems. Largest among the challenges is the issue with contamination. Having to take gloves off to interat with a computer, to take notes, to handle certain things. Our solution was a tablet interface that replaced the traditional lab notebook and improved the use experience by allowing hands-free interaction. The tablet was designed to display biological protocols, tasks, notes, lab status, and more. The switching of applications was streamlined by allowing voice activation. We also explored the possibility of using gestures to navigate the application as well.

Overview: eLabNotebook

Hypothesis Forming

The eLabNotebook is an electronic lab notebook that facilitates collaborative, effective, and safe assembly of biological systems. The eLabNotebook allows users to:

• Capture multimodal data inside and outside the lab with minimal effort
• Follow a protocol in the lab while modifying and annotating steps as needed
• Access a wide variety of digital resources
• Get an overview of current activity and progress
• share physical and digital resources in real-time

The implementation of the eLabNotebook entails:

• Developing light-weight interaction techniques for capturing information
• Considering strategies for organizing and sharing heterogeneous information
• Visualizing current lab activity and progress
• Designing for multiple contexts and devices
  
  The eLabNotebook will be initially prototyped on the iPad platform.
