Automation and digitalization are changing how medical laboratories organize work processes, handle samples and collaborate with the rest of the health service. This event brings together professionals who want to learn more about experiences, opportunities and challenges at the intersection of laboratory operations, technology and ICT.
Laboratory automation, laboratory IT and digitalisation
- Gain insight into experiences with automation solutions, control, optimization and streamlining of sample flow in the laboratory.
- Meet total automation suppliers in a panel debate on how the solutions can meet different needs in everyday laboratory life.
- Explore laboratory IT, common lab systems, the Health Platform and digital solutions for collaboration in the health service
The panel debate brings together total automation suppliers for a professional conversation about technology, workflows and development in medical laboratories. The suppliers get to briefly present their own solutions before answering specific questions, with the aim of providing participants with useful insights from several players in the market.
The event will also shed light on how laboratories work with digitalization and common systems in practice. You will have the opportunity to participate in questions and answers, exchange experiences with other professionals and get inspiration for the work with the future of laboratory operations.
The conference is divided up thematically:
Day 1 deals with automation
Day 2 deals with ICT and digitalization
