iMouse
intelligent Monitoring & operation system in
use within a standardized environment
iMouse in a nutshell
HARDWARE the iMouse DigiFrame is a retrofit solution, providing 24/7 observation. Transforming existing home-cages to scalable DHC (Digital Home-Cages). Our hardware does not interfere with handling processes in animal laboratories, as it is seamlessly integrated into existing home-cage racks.
The fundament consists of a observation unit (a camera with IR functionality to observe rodents at their active phase) paired with a compute unit (the brain for data transport and pre-processing).

PLATFORM iMouseHub simply enables the scientist and researcher to reduce the human influence by not being in the laboratory. Therefore access on cage level, via cameras to different perspectives is in focus to generate digital, reproduceable and sharable data. The scientist has the possibility to access the platform via direct connection (next door), the intranet (within customer’s environment or the internet (e.g.: home office or at weekends).
Part of the platform is the user management, to enable access rights.
The data processing starts by using zones for data-reduction and to spot only the active phase of the rodent. The filters helping within the experiment management to finally use the right data for required statistics.
The platform with data handling routines sets the fundament for the AI approach to further reduce manual data handling and get automated more precise results.

AI SYSTEM iMouseBrain enables reduction in manual data handling and in future more precise information without human interaction on cage and animal level.
We combining the data from our plaform with the developed algoritms to automate the recognition of different behaviours.
Rodent behavior is a crucial aspect of pre-clinical studies in drug discovery because it allows researchers to evaluate the potential efficacy and safety of new drugs.
By studying the long-term behavior of rodents in response to new drugs or therapies, researchers can gain insight into the drug’s mechanism of action, dose-response relationship, and potential side effects.
iMouseBrain algorithm is a disruptive tool for pre-clinical studies in the life sciences industry. The algorithm converts mouse life into a chart and behavioral map, providing a comprehensive digital representation (digital biomarkers) of the mouse’s physical and mental condition, the statistics. This behavioral sequencing is similar to gene sequencing, but instead of analyzing genes, it provides insights into the mouse’s behavior and overall health.
Our service is your solution!
Integration
The iMouse solution can be integrated within the existing IT environment. We also offer own AI server integration and data management options.
1) Stand alone
2) Intranet access
3) Internet access
Installation
A retrofit installation of the iMouse system works with all existing home-cage systems (open or ventilated) via our standardized adapter system within the DigiFrames. The system is installed around the home-cage as plug&play solution within the rack environment. Just LAN and power need to be within the laboratory accessable.
