This book addresses data integrity initiatives and setup of new, digital systems, and prioritizes integration of all tech solutions used in the lab for optimal performance.
“Digital Transformation of the Laboratory: A Practical Guide to the Connected Lab delivers essential and transformative new insights into current and future technologies and strategies for the digitization of laboratories. Thoroughly supported and backed-up with contributions from thought and industry leaders, the book shows scientists in industry and academia how to move from paper to digital in their own labs.”- Wiley Inc.
Lab digitalization is a people driven initiative that aims to address the global challenges and provide solutions, backed by unquestionable integrity of traceable and reproducible scientific data. To address the challenge, modularity and flexibility are being incorporated on different levels of lab operations. Labs are becoming inviting spaces suitable for interdisciplinary partnerships in a digital, virtual or personal environment.
“The lab environment is changing, that is certain. New and existing science demands combined with critical issues of data management and reproducibility will require a strategic direction to be set and then deployed.” Dr. Richard Shute and Dr. Nick Lynch, Curlew Research, book authors
Through effective integration of tools, improved scientist to scientist interactions, and quality change management, lab digitalization places the human element at the very forefront of the overall progress towards the digital future.
“Cultural and behavioral changes are reported to be the most significant barriers to successful digital transformation within organizations. Therefore, digital transformation can only be successful if a shift in organizational culture is achieved. User adoption is one of the key aspects that need to be addressed in order to achieve a cultural shift.” – Jana Erjavec, PhD, CCO, BioSistemika LLC, book editor
