"The industry is looking to AI to bring better patient care via more accurate diagnosis," says Liz Thorn, our Head of Diagnostics. We recently asked our audience which trend they think will shape the diagnostics industry the most in 2025. AI-enhanced diagnostics came out on top with a commanding 55% of the vote. Wearable devices followed with 24%, while Point of Care (PoC) received 21%. These results reflect the growing anticipation around AI's potential to revolutionise diagnostics, a topic we cover in detail in our blog on AI and machine learning in medical devices:ย https://lnkd.in/dd53Dpbj Want to read more about the wider trends and innovations in the diagnostics industry?
