Diagnostics & Labs

Transform Lab Operations with AI-Powered Diagnostics

Your lab processes thousands of samples daily with thin margins and zero tolerance for error. We build AI that automates pre-analytical checks, flags anomalous results, and optimizes instrument utilization — all within CLIA and CAP compliance frameworks.

Industry Challenges

Modern Labs Face Unprecedented Pressure

Staffing shortages, growing test menus, and tighter reimbursement are squeezing labs that still rely on manual processes.

👩‍🔬

Medical Technologist Shortage

The US faces a 25,000+ medical technologist shortage. Labs cannot staff night and weekend shifts without burning out existing teams.

⏱️

Turnaround Time Pressure

Clinicians demand faster TAT for critical results. Manual review steps are the biggest bottleneck in high-volume labs.

📊

Auto-Verification Limitations

Current rules-based auto-verification catches only 40-60% of results. Everything else requires manual technologist review.

🔧

Instrument Downtime

Unplanned instrument failures cause cascade delays. Reactive maintenance costs 3x more than predictive approaches.

💰

Reimbursement Compression

PAMA cuts have reduced reimbursement rates by 10%+ for common tests. Labs must do more with less every year.

📋

Regulatory Complexity

CLIA, CAP, and state regulations require extensive documentation for test validation, proficiency testing, and quality control.

Process More Samples with Fewer Manual Steps

The Challenge

The Problem

Staffing shortages forced mandatory overtime for 18 months. Manual result review was the primary bottleneck, and two instrument failures in one week caused a 3-day TAT backlog.

Only 45% of results passed rules-based auto-verification
Night shift ran with one technologist covering three instrument lines
Average TAT for routine chemistry was 4.2 hours against a 3-hour target
Reactive instrument maintenance led to 12 unplanned downtime events per quarter

Our Approach: We trained auto-verification models on 2 years of historical results with technologist review outcomes, deployed predictive maintenance algorithms on instrument telemetry data, and built an intelligent specimen routing system that prioritized critical and stat orders automatically.

Client Stories

What Our Clients Say

Our auto-verification rate went from 45% to 85%. My night shift technologists can actually manage their workload now.

MG
Dr. Michelle Grant
Lab Director, NationalPath Diagnostics

The predictive maintenance system caught a failing photomultiplier tube before it affected results. That would have been a 2-day outage.

TH
Tom Henderson
Technical Supervisor, CoreLab Solutions

We reduced our TAT by 38% without adding a single FTE. Our hospital clients noticed immediately and two renewed long-term contracts.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Rules-based systems use static thresholds and delta checks. Our ML models learn complex patterns from historical technologist decisions, including contextual factors like patient history, instrument drift, and multi-analyte correlations that rules cannot capture.
