Lab to Life - From Sample to Story: Rethinking the Diagnostics Pipeline
Diagnostics are where care starts—but most systems behind them weren’t designed for speed, scale, or clinician experience.
Lab to Life is an immersive, founder-led session exploring how a new generation of devices, infrastructure, and workflow tools are reshaping the testing ecosystem—from R&D and lab ops to storytelling, data intelligence, and bedside trust.
You’ll hear from builders, buyers, and operators on what it takes to go from a great diagnostic idea to a scalable product—and how innovation can finally meet usability in clinical settings.

Diagnostic device founders & medical hardware engineers
Lab ops leads & infrastructure builders
