AALAS National Meeting 2026 | Key Solutions Events

Technical Trade Presentation

AI-Driven Knowledge and Health Management for Animal Research Facilities

Presented by Dr. Chandra Devireddy, VP Product Management, Key Solutions, Inc.

Date

Sunday, October 25, 2026

Time

3:00 to 3:20 pm

Room

310

Animal research facilities hold a remarkable amount of valuable information: health records, veterinary reports, standard operating procedures, approved protocols and environmental data. This session looks at how data analytics and large language models can make that information easier to reach, so teams can act on it sooner and with more confidence.

What you will take away

How predictive analytics applied to health records can surface welfare signals earlier, supporting proactive care.
How natural language retrieval makes protocols, SOPs and regulatory guidance instantly searchable for staff.
How continuous analysis of operational data supports protocol compliance and audit-ready reporting.

Let's talk about what you would like to improve

Our team is at booth 1617 throughout the exhibition. When looking at the Key Solutions Animal Research Suite, consisting of eProtocol IACUC, Lab Animal Resources Software (LARS), Lab Animal Health Software (LAHS) and IACUC-PAM, attendees frequently have questions around:

Protocol review and committee workflow
Vivarium operations and census visibility
Animal health records and welfare insight
Post-approval monitoring

Thinking about AI and data analytics?

Many institutions know there is potential here but are not sure how to move forward. The useful starting point is rarely a tool. It is whether the information the facility already holds, protocols, health records, census, standard operating procedures and environmental data, is structured and connected enough to be used.

These are the questions worth answering before any of it:

Is your operational data recorded consistently, with attribution and a date?
Do protocol, facility, and animal health records connect, or are they reconciled by hand?
Can you produce a complete history for one protocol or one animal without assembling it first?
Do you know which question you would want answered first, and who would act on the answer?

An institution that can answer those is in a position to adopt analytics when it chooses to. One that cannot will find the data work comes first either way.

Our technical trade session on Sunday covers this directly. Come to the session, then bring your own situation to the booth. Key Solutions also offers data analytics and AI/ML integrated services alongside the research compliance platform, so the conversation can go as far as it is useful.
