Pain Point
The large number of computer-based systems, scientists and engineers involved in a research project provides complications, particularly in highly detailed and regulated STEM industries. As a result, many STEM companies are slow to adopt new technologies. One pharmaceutical company was unable to fully leverage the power behind wearable devices because they didn’t have the right platform to support the data collected from wearables.
Solutions
Varya Virtual’s Iota platform, coupled with RealWear wearable technology, enabled research, experiments and results to be captured easily. Iota allowed the pharmaceutical company to build “notebooks” of research, experiments and results. These notebooks included audio, video and images captured by the head-worn mobile devices. Through this interface, the pharmaceutical company was able to capture, locate, organize and perform analytics on this information to share and transfer to other parts of their organization.
Benefits
The pharmaceutical company leveraged Iota to neatly organize and “package” this information for technical transfer internally. This same capability could be similarly leveraged with CROs and CMOs, allowing organizations to have an immersive, real-time collaborative experience.
Conclusion
Iota allowed the pharmaceutical company to interface with multiple partner organizations, maintain needed confidentiality and firewalls. They develop apps, workflows and dashboards that enhanced the information workflow.
Big idea
Cloud-based storage now allows, with security controls in place, authenticated users from anywhere in a partner network to access and contribute to this content.
