Revvity introduces AI solution to reduce laboratory data entry burden
Revvity has launched a new optical character recognition (OCR) service designed to digitise handwritten information from laboratory test request forms. The system, called Revvity Transcribe AI, has demonstrated a 40% improvement in overall data entry workflow efficiency during internal testing.
Newborn screening applications
The technology appears particularly relevant for newborn screening (NBS) laboratories that process hundreds of dried blood spot (DBS) test cards daily. The system integrates with Revvity’s EVOYA platform, the company’s existing NBS software solution, potentially freeing up laboratory staff for other critical tasks.
According to Norm Lord, vice president of digital products at Revvity: “This innovative service ensures that the digitised data is securely processed and seamlessly integrated into laboratory information management systems for review and verification.” The solution requires Revvity Instrument Hub for implementation, and availability varies by region.
Laboratory workflow implications
For clinical laboratories facing staffing challenges and increasing throughput demands, the automation of manual data entry presents an opportunity to reallocate human resources. The system maintains data integrity through a verification process, suggesting it could reduce transcription errors whilst improving efficiency.
