Supercharging Diagnostic Testing Across Asia Pacific

Diagnostic testing is at the core of every healthcare system, and thus to ensure we are optimizing value across the patient care spectrum we must ensure we are making the correct investments in testing. In this session, we will look across Asia Pacific to understand how game changing biomarkers are being adopted across disease states, what the key barriers are that are slowing adoption, how we can drive out inefficiency in diagnostic delivery, and options for optimizing resource allocation. The conversation will leverage data to help us discuss with our panel of experts about key actions to ensure patients have timely access to best-in-class biomarkers.

Who Let the Data Out?

The transition to value-based healthcare relies heavily on data analytics for measuring patient outcomes and identifying cost drivers. Health data plays a vital role in this process. However, fragmented ownership and accessibility issues hinder stakeholders’ access to vast volumes of data, which could potentially yield valuable insights.

Hospitals, governments, MedTech and technology companies, and even patients, each hold a piece of the health data puzzle.

Find out why it is important to have common data and cybersecurity standards and why the industry and government must collaborate to unlock the latent value of health data.
