About Viva Cyte Nsanja ya Mapulogalamu Yonse

Viva Cyte ndi nsanja yapamwamba ya pulogalamu yopangidwa kuwongola chitukuko cha chithandizo cha maselo mwa kuphatikiza makina okhaokha, kusanthula kwakukulu, ndi kugwiritsa ntchito kosavuta. Ikuphatikiza Pulogalamu Yoyendetsa (CSW) yowongolera mayeso a zamoyo ndi Pulogalamu Yosanthula (ASW) yotulutsa chidziwitso chofunikira. Makina okhaokha otsogozedwa ndi AI amachepetsa zolakwa za anthu, amakulitsa kulondola, ndi kukonza kagwiritsidwe ntchito, zomwe zimathandiza ofufuza kuyenda m'njira zovuta za ntchito mofulumira komanso kuthamangitsa kupita patsogolo kwa mankhwala othandiza.

About the Mphoto ya Siliva ya A' Design Award

Viva Cyte Nsanja ya Mapulogalamu Yonse ndi mmodzi mwa opambana a Mphoto ya Siliva ya A' Design Award, kuzindikirika kolemekezeka modabwitsa komwe kumaperekedwa kwa mapangidwe a pamwamba, okongola ndi ochititsa chidwi. Opambana a Siliva ndi ntchito zowala kwambiri ndi zolenga kwambiri zomwe zimaonetsa ukatswiri, luso ndi nzeru zakuthwa za opanga awo. Viva Cyte Nsanja ya Mapulogalamu Yonse akuyembekezeka kukhala ntchito yodabwitsa yoonetsedwa, yaukatswiri wapadera ndi yatsopano kwambiri. Mapangidwe opambana Mphoto ya Siliva ya A' Design Award awa ndi chopangidwa chodziwika kwambiri ndi choyamikiridwa chomwe chimapindulitsa ndi kukulitsa malire a luso, sayansi, kapangidwe ndi ukadaulo. Viva Cyte Nsanja ya Mapulogalamu Yonse ndi cholengedwa chomwe anthu ambiri amachichitira nsanje, chomwe chimadzutsa zilakolako, kubweretsa maganizo abwino ndi kuyatsa kudabwa ndi chidwi.

Production Technology
We conducted extensive user research to design VivaCyte's software suite, including shadowing biologists in labs and interviewing end-users to understand their workflows and challenges. We also organized User Journey Mapping workshops, bringing together biologists and development teams to foster collaboration and gather diverse perspectives. The insights from these activities guided the creation of a custom design system, ensuring consistency and usability across the platforms.
Design Challenge
Designing VivaCyte posed challenges in balancing usability, automation, and compliance. Internally, we had to align complex biological workflows with intuitive design, ensuring seamless lab adoption. Externally, strict medical regulations require adherence to compliance standards. Limited industry precedents and evolving AI capabilities pushed us to innovate with user research, iterative prototyping, and AI-driven automation, overcoming barriers in technology and regulatory constraints.
Research
We conducted user research to enhance VivaCyte’s usability and efficiency. Using shadowing and interviews, we observed lab workflows and identified pain points. Data was collected via on-site studies, journey mapping, and prototype testing with biologists and technicians. Insights led to features like printable maps and a guided setup walkthrough, reducing errors and improving efficiency. The research optimized workflows, accelerating cell therapy development.
Inspiration
Inspired by the need to accelerate cancer cell therapies, VivaCyte was designed to streamline workflows, reduce human error, and enhance patient care. Recognizing the challenges of complex, labour-intensive workflows in cell therapy development, we sought to create a solution that integrates advanced automation, high-throughput analysis, and intuitive design. The design prioritizes usability and scalability, enabling researchers and clinicians to focus on innovation rather than constraints.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2022 in Milan and finished in August 2024.
Operation Flow
VivaCyte streamlines cell therapy workflows through an intuitive, automated interface. Users launch tests via the Control Software (CSW), which configures experiments that can be followed in real-time, while the Analytical Software (ASW) extracts biological insights and displays them. AI-driven automation minimizes errors, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. Designed for seamless interaction, it simplifies complex tasks, accelerates data analysis, and enhances usability.
