BoardSnap is an iOS app built for the whiteboard-heavy thinking biotech teams do — experimental design, pipeline reviews, regulatory strategy, and platform architecture — turning those sessions into written, actionable output before anyone leaves the room.
Biotech moves at the intersection of rigorous science and fast-moving development timelines. Every pipeline review, every experimental design session, every regulatory strategy meeting generates a whiteboard full of structured thinking. Which programs advance? What are the key mechanistic hypotheses? What's the IND-enabling study plan? That thinking needs to be captured exactly as agreed — not reconstructed from memory two days later.
BoardSnap fits the biotech working cadence. Snap the pipeline decision matrix, the mechanism-of-action diagram, the Phase 2 design schematic. BoardSnap AI reads the structure of the board — the arrows indicating biological relationships, the decision nodes, the annotated assumptions — and returns a written summary that becomes the scientific record for that meeting.
For biotech teams managing multiple programs, Projects give each asset its own space. Lead compound, backup compounds, platform programs — each project has its own whiteboard history, context, and pinned notes. Nothing from the oncology program bleeds into the rare disease program.
Map all programs on the board: stage, key data readouts, go/no-go criteria, resource requirements. Snap it. The structured summary gives leadership the program status view they need — captured exactly as it was agreed in the review.
Sketch the study design on the board: hypothesis, primary endpoint, controls, sample size rationale, key readout timing. Snap it. The summary becomes the experimental design brief before it goes to the study protocol draft.
Map the regulatory pathway: Pre-IND meeting agenda, IND-enabling studies, Phase 1 design, breakthrough therapy designation strategy. Draw the timeline. Snap it. The summary gives regulatory affairs the strategic brief they need for planning.
Draw the MOA pathway: target, mechanism, downstream biology, anticipated biomarkers, safety considerations. Snap it. The structured summary captures the scientific rationale before it gets written into the Investigator's Brochure.
Sketch the manufacturing process flow, the critical quality attributes, the key process parameters. Snap it. The summary becomes the first draft of the process description for your CMC documentation.
VisionKit perspective correction runs on-device with no external data transfer. AI summarization sends content to BoardSnap's API over TLS. For boards containing proprietary compound data, trade secrets, or CDA-protected information, review your information security and IP protection policies before using cloud summarization. Many scientific planning sessions don't involve compound-specific data — for those, BoardSnap operates without restriction.
Yes. BoardSnap AI reads annotated diagrams with directional arrows, labeled components, and hierarchical relationships. It produces a written description of the depicted pathway or mechanism — not a vector reproduction, but a scientifically faithful prose summary of what's on the board.
The VisionKit scan is on-device. AI summarization sends content to BoardSnap's API. If your compound data is under CDA or IP-sensitive, review your data policies before enabling cloud summarization. Many biotech whiteboard sessions — pipeline strategy, experimental design frameworks — don't involve compound-specific data at a level that triggers IP concerns.
Projects. Each drug program gets its own project with isolated board history and pinned context. Switching projects switches all context — no program-to-program bleed.
Yes. Lab group meetings, experimental design sessions, grant planning — all of that whiteboard output benefits from structured capture. The free tier is enough for most academic lab workflows.
Standard abbreviations and annotated text read well. Highly specialized chemical structures drawn in full structural notation won't translate to accurate chemical text — but the surrounding context and labels usually capture the intent clearly.
