How to Adapt to the Future of Laboratory Medicine – an Attempt at a Prediction
This talk looks ahead at how laboratory medicine will be reshaped over the coming decade by AI, automation, and the shift toward integrated, data-driven diagnostics. Drawing on current trends — from Industry 5.0 and algorithmic decision support to the growing overlap with clinical informatics — it sketches plausible scenarios for how labs, workflows, and professional roles will evolve. Most importantly, it proposes concrete strategies for how laboratory professionals can proactively adapt rather than be disrupted: rethinking skillsets, expanding consultative roles, and embracing technology as an enabler. The goal is not prophecy but preparedness — an informed prediction designed to help the audience shape their own future.
