Experts believe compressive sensing could find wide application in medical laboratory and pathology testing, particularly where large amounts of data are generated Pathologists and medical laboratory managers may soon be working with a new tool in their labs. It is called “Compressive Sensing” (CS) and it is an innovative mathematical approach that quickly and efficiently gets an answer by sampling large volumes of a data. Currently compressive sensing is used in medical imaging technology. CS...

Consumer Wellness Trend Portends Change in Existing Lab Testing Business Model

Jul 1, 2009 | Laboratory News, Laboratory Pathology

Blame it on informed, well-off consumers who pursue wellness and optimum health Informed consumers may be shifting the healthcare paradigm even as Congress prepares to hammer out its vision of a radically-reformed healthcare system. At least that’s the view of one healthcare expert, who observes that the steady growth in the number of consumer home test kits, patient self-testing devices, and point-of-care tests is a major factor enabling this trend. People today increasingly get their...
