Sciar solves the problem of insufficient and inaccurate data documentation of scientific research by bringing new technology to the laboratory.
During 2020, we have been posting articles about our XR Hub teams. These articles have been written based on interview questions answered by the teams themselves. If you have missed the previous articles, you can find them in the Hub Team Introductions category!
The next team we will introduce is Sciar!
Sciar
What does your team do?
Sciar Company develops a Holistic Laboratory Management Software composed of two parts.
First is Augmented Reality Workflow called Sciar Co-Pilot that helps to show the instructions in an easy way and automated checks using the AR-headset camera prevent costly errors.
The second part is Sciar Vault, a secure cloud platform that can be used to manage workflows, design and modify protocols and access documentation.
What is the idea/mission behind your team?
A widely recognized problem in the scientific community is unreproducible scientific research. Studies can not be replicated due to insufficient and inaccurate data documentation. Sciar solves this problem by bringing in new technology to the laboratory, remarkably improving data gathering efficiency and quality, as well as enhancing human work and mitigating errors.
