The touchless research lab experience

Blog: Capgemini CTO Blog

Significant effort is required to plan, schedule, execute the experiments, but labs never function 100% of their capacity, with administrative elements eating away at 35% of a researcher’s time. Besides that, labs tend to face cost pressures and funding hurdles. These factors, along with the challenges associated with running research labs in the midst of a global pandemic, mean that it’s critical for researchers to find ways to improve the efficiency of their efforts.

Enter touchless technologies like voice assistants. They solve for a multitude of challenges researchers face when trying to capture observations and results in a lab setting, from requirements to wear safety gear that can make it hard to take notes to rules and regulations about what kinds of devices can be brought in due to the risk of damage. In a lab environment, voice assistants can help researchers easily record experiment details in real time without losing focus or needing to use their hands or bulky equipment.

In addition to vastly simplifying the process of data capture, voice assistants also offer enhanced functionality that drives efficiency in a lab environment, including the following:
