LabNotes: A Mobile App for Instrument Control and Data Collection

Completed TRL 4 (started at 2, targeting 4)

Description

LabNotes is an IPad/IPod software application (app) and low-cost USB connector harness that can be used to operate and collect data from scientific instruments, providing a low-cost, compact, and easy-to-use alternative to traditional bulky and expensive instrument control apparatus.

How to get involved

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 4) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
