“When it comes to the year ahead the healthcare fraternity’s expectations encompass new technology, investment, health programmes and public private partnership. For diagnostic laboratories the main drivers will be the continued focus on preventive healthcare, shorter turnaround time through automation, next gen logistics network, value added services like application of AI for personalising test packages and qualifying lab reports, home collection of samples and establishing connect with customers through handheld devices. There is no doubt that the nation needs to shift its focus from curative to preventive healthcare. Accordingly, since diagnostics pave the way to determine choice of management, the diagnostics industry could be the focal point for driving preventive healthcare in India.”
