The diagnostics process is antiquated in one-click shopping and on-demand/Insta-fulfilment everything. Customers expect faster services and transparency in the quality process, whereas businesses expect ease of integration with digital systems for managing complex operations.
Quality and patient safety are paramount for home diagnostics, and robust SOP’s and NABL guidelines must be included in digital workflows.
