Motivation
The client approached Azati with the request to develop an automated solution that would notify researchers about newly added patent sequence data relevant to their previous searches. This solution was aimed at eliminating the manual process of tracking updates, ensuring that researchers receive accurate, timely, and comprehensive information, and reducing the risk of missing critical data in their intellectual property research.
Main Challenges
Due to 24-hour update cycles on the SequenceBase Research Portal, users often missed new patent documents and sequences relevant to their ongoing research. Azati addressed this by introducing a monitoring system that proactively tracks and notifies users of relevant updates.
Researchers had to perform repeated manual searches to find newly added sequences matching their queries, which was time-consuming and inefficient. Azati proposed and implemented a solution with automated recurring search checks and user notifications.
Key Features
- Monitor Feature: Allows users to subscribe to specific searches and receive automatic notifications when new documents or sequences matching their criteria are added to the portal.
- Custom Update Settings: Users can define how often they receive updates, choose to see only new results, and access historical data from previous search runs.
- Email Notifications: Integrated alerts via email ensure that researchers never miss important updates without needing to log in constantly.
