NEXT-GENERATION LAB MONITORING POWERED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
DOME™ AI-Powered Smart Lids: Real-Time Computer Vision Analysis Capturing 20+ Digital Biomarkers 24/7
The Challenge
Animal research needs an upgrade
Traditional animal research methodologies haven't fundamentally changed in decades, while demands for better data have increased exponentially.
Studies are laborious
Your studies require hundreds of manhours of manual handling and manual scoring. This is repetitive for your people, leading to mistakes and high staff turnover.
Studies are expensive
The many hundreds of manhours to run a study mean high labor costs. Even basic studies are expensive for you.
Irreproducible experiments
You're never sure whether your staff/student performed the assay right. They get a different result during replication or when someone else performs the measurements.
Low resolution, low quality data
You can only perform a few measurements in your study. Each assay is laborious and you cannot handle the animals often. Measurements must be repeated for accurate averaging but time-of-day effects remain.
Slow time to insight
Data transcription from paper to excel takes time. Statistical analysis takes time. Visualization takes time. Your people spend days or weeks before they know the result of the study.
Compromised animal welfare
Handling and stressful experimental setups cause anxiety in your animals. You find out about health issues too late. Missing food, water or flooding have compromised your studies, leading to lost data.
The Solution
Introducing DOME™ Smart Lids
AI-powered "smart lids" that transform standard animal cages into comprehensive data collection platforms
Multi-parameter home cage monitoring of group-housed animals has never before been available until now
Our solution is elegantly simple yet revolutionary. The DOME system consists of "smart lids" that fit directly onto your existing home cages and racks—no need to replace your current infrastructure.
Revolutionary Technology
The DOME system tracks over 20 digital biomarkers simultaneously without requiring invasive RFID tags:
- Maximum and average movement speed
- Number of sleep bouts and total sleep time
- Water and food intake
- Climbing and rearing events
- Distance traveled
- Fighting events and social interactions
Comprehensive Biomarker Tracking
Our unbiased digital biomarkers deliver robust data that accurately predicts preclinical outcomes with strong translational capabilities:
- Tracks multiple group-housed animals without invasive RFID tags
- Digital fingerprints enable rapid disease characterization
- 24/7 video monitoring ensures complete reproducibility
- No human-induced variability in data collection
- Early detection of health issues before they become critical
Compatible With Your Infrastructure
The system is specifically designed to work with the cage systems you already use:
- Compatible with racks from Tecniplast, Innovive, and Allentown
- No need to replace your existing racks or cages
- Seamless integration with your current workflow
- Simple 4-step setup process
- Local data storage for up to a week if connection is lost
The Benefits
Transform Your Research Outcomes
The DOME system delivers unparalleled advantages for modern animal research
Unbiased Digital Biomarkers
Our breakthrough technology delivers robust data that accurately predicts preclinical outcomes with strong translational capabilities to human studies.
Multi-Animal Tracking
Track multiple group-housed animals without invasive RFID tags—providing more data per cage while eliminating single housing requirements.
Rapid Disease Characterization
Digital fingerprints enable early detection of health issues and comprehensive disease characterization for better research outcomes.
24/7 Video Monitoring
Complete reproducibility without human-induced variability. Never miss critical behaviors that happen when no one is watching.
Automated Alerts
Instant insights on cage conditions and animal health, improving welfare standards and preventing research disruptions.
Research-Ready Data
Receive illustration-quality graphs and ready-to-plot data in Excel directly from your user portal—eliminating time-consuming data transcription.
Implementation
How do they work?
Getting started with the DOME system is remarkably straightforward
Setup DOMEs and WifiBox in your local rack.
DOMEs will record the data and upload through the WifiBox. If connection is lost, don't worry—DOMEs keep recording and store up to a week of data locally.
(Optional) apply Oldentag eartags to allow 99% accurate identification.
The system works effectively without any invasive RFID chips, but for even more precise tracking, Oldentag eartags provide enhanced identification.
Replace the food hopper with DOME-compatible food hopper and slide the cage under the DOME.
The specialized food hopper ensures accurate food consumption tracking while preserving the familiar environment for the animals.
Setup the cage in your account and see the data flow in!
Our team handles the entire setup process, making it simple to start gathering valuable data immediately.
