Allentown, a premier provider of animal housing solutions, is partnering with The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) to launch a revolutionary home-cage mouse monitoring system powered by AI and machine learning (ML). This strategic collaboration is designed to accelerate preclinical research and improve the translatability of preclinical readouts to clinical applications. Setting a new standard for continuous, data-driven care, this innovative technology enhances both animal welfare and study quality by delivering precise insights into behavioral and environmental conditions.

At the heart of this home-cage monitoring system, JAX's cloud-based AI software captures and displays digital measures of mouse behavior and physiology exclusively in coordination with Allentown's Discovery™ IVC. The digitization of behavioral assays delivers richer and more robust data sets while also minimizing animal disturbance. Additionally, through JAX's Envision Developer Environment, custom digital measures can be created and tracked directly in the application.

Together, Allentown’s Discovery™ IVC and JAX’s Envision platform deliver a comprehensive solution for continuous in vivo monitoring.
