Although the healthcare technology industry has been slowly advancing in the past, novelty is needed to address the pandemic. AI in healthcare, as well as other technologies, are imperative to resolving the crisis and for generating future growth.To better understand where the healthcare technology industry is going, understanding key tech trends is paramount. Regardless of the fact that conventional systems are often preferred for their reliability, businesses are always looking for new ways to improve their performance, productivity, and efficiency. The practice of screening and testing is also evolving with the development of new Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods of machine learning. Along with expeditious improvements in computer processing, these AI-based systems are already enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis and treatment across several specialisations. The increasing focus of AI in screening and testing has led to some experts suggesting that someday AI may even replace the clinicians. These suggestions raise the question of whether AI-based systems will eventually replace clinicians in some specialisations or will augment the role of clinicians without actually replacing them. Besides, AI has the potential to play an increasingly important role in medicine and healthcare because of advances in computing power, learning algorithms, and the availability of large datasets (big data) sourced from screening and testing of individual patients. Moreover, the flood of health care data is helping push the development of new AI applications that promise to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of patient care.In this edition of MedTech Outlook, we bring to you some of the leading companies that have excelled through innovation in delivering screening and testing solution. We hope the inspiring success stories of these providers benefit our readers who are in pursuit of an ideal collaboration.Let us know your thoughts!Innovating New Ways of Creating Value in the Screening and Testing ArenaEditorial StaffJoshua Parker Merlin WatsonJoe Philip Laura PintoSarah FernandesEDITORIAL
