Access panel discussions about critical topics in biomedical diagnostics
In this three-part educational series hosted in collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU), leading national experts in the chosen topics tackle the important challenges surrounding when, how, and why to use diagnostics to improve the current healthcare system.
Session 1. Diagnostics for the Healthy: The Screening Paradox
- What is the screening paradox, and what does screening mean to the general public?
- What are the pros and cons of diagnostic screening from cancer to COVID-19 and beyond?
- Which tests are being over- and under-utilized?
- How can screening be economically feasible?
- Will we ever have effective screening tests from a single drop of blood?
Session 2. Diagnostics Technologies: Lab of the Future
- What technologies will transform the lab of the future?
- How should labs best utilize their capacity?
- What role does data and informatics play?
Session 3. What do Healthcare Providers Know or Should Know about Diagnostics?
- How, what and when do physicians/nurses learn about diagnostics?
- What incentives exist for providers and payers to use or not use testing?
- What role should diagnostics labs and manufacturers play in physician/healthcare provider education?
