2. INTRODUCTION
Numerous medical data sources are
required to perfectly diagnose
diseases using artificial intelligence
techniques, such as ultrasound,
magnetic resonance imaging,
mammography, genomics,
computed tomography scan, etc.

3. INTRODUCTION
Due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic,
we’ve seen an accelerated rate in
adoption of these technologies by
hospitals, ASCs, and individual practices
alike. The following list is compiled with
prime examples of game-changing
diagnostic tech either on the rise or on
the horizon that you should keep an eye
out for and consider integrating into your
practice in the near future.

4. AT-HOME RAPID ANTIGEN
TESTS
The concept of an easy-to-use and fairly
accurate test that can quickly reveal if a
patient is suffering from an ailment is not
a new one. Many common diseases such
as strep throat, the seasonal flu and
malaria have utilized rapid antigen test as
part of their diagnosis protocol for years.
Additionally, at-home testing has also
existed—most commonly in the form of
commercially available pregnancy tests.

5. WEARABLE MEDICAL
TECHNOLOGY
Lifestyle-focused wearable tech gadgets
have been around for years. Fitbits, Apple
Watches, and other smartwatches are no
longer trendy toys that tech enthusiasts
use to ostentatiously display their
savviness. They’re now powerful
computers we can wear with us all the
time that serve endless numbers of
functions—Apple shipped close to 40
million of theirs in 2021 alone.

6. By their nature, people take their
wearables everywhere they go— making
it a diagnostic tool that can exist well
outside the confines of a medical office.
Naturally, the kind of technology that can
track minute-by-minute trends in a users
body movement, heart rate and stress
levels—among others— would be both
extremely useful and desirable across
every medical discipline and specialty—
and medical technology manufacturers
have taken notice.

7. LAB-ON-CHIP
First revealed in 2017 and supercharged
by COVID-19, Stanford University School
of Medicine has been using microfluid
technology to develop a diagnostic tool
that looks to revolutionize the world of
diagnostic medicine.Described as “a two-
part system—A clear silicone microfluidic
chamber for housing cells sits on top of a
reusable electronic strip.” Stanford’s “lab
on a chip” uses the electrical properties
present in cells to separate an existing
fluid into the components that comprise
them.

8. REMOTE PATIENT
MONITORING WEIGHT
SCALE
While closely related to telehealth,
Remote Patient Monitoring is its own
segment entirely. While telehealth is the
use of telecommunications technology to
support long-distance car—think a
virtual doctor’s appointment—RPM is the
use of a device prescribed by the
provider, connected to the internet, that
allows them to view and monitor the pre-
defined status of whichever of the
patients’ condition they see fit.

9. ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE
n a huge announcement, Verily (formerly
known as Google Life Sciences) invested
as part of a $18.5 million dollar round of
funding for Zephyr AI, an artificial
intelligence firm founded in 2020 who,
according to their website, are looking to
“Create groundbreaking algorithms” and
“build the most comprehensive dataset in
the world”.
