  • Rethinking Long COVID: Targeting Root Causes First

    Diagnostics World News | At February’s Integrative Healthcare Symposium, Dr. George Schatz urged clinicians to rethink how they evaluate long COVID. For patients who still struggle with long-term fatigue, brain fog, palpitations, and sleep disruption, he proposed a diagnostics-first framework that prioritizes mechanism over labels.

  • Epigenetic Instability Metric Could Aid Early Cancer Detection Efforts

    Diagnostics World News | The quest to marry different DNA methylation technologies for the purpose of early cancer detection has been ongoing for several decades now. Among the recent breakthroughs is an “epigenetic instability index” (EII) measuring the randomness of methylation rather than just consistent, fixed changes.

  • Precision Medicine Needs Precision Engineered Diagnostic Systems

    Diagnostics World News | Precision medicine is often described as the future of healthcare. But from an engineering standpoint, it’s already here, and it’s forcing diagnostic instruments to evolve faster than most development cycles are comfortable with. We’re asking instruments to do more than confirm a suspected diagnosis. We’re asking them to deliver specificity, speed, and confidence in environments that aren’t always predictable. That’s a major shift from the days when “good enough” screening could drive clinical decisions.
