Thanks to the transcendence of human
race, people at present fortunately reached the height of lavishness.
Progressing from the days of ancient times, I can say that how we are currently
living today was once just a vision out of reach then.
In laboratory management, it’s amazing
how modernized tests are being performed. Automation allows practitioners to
work easier and produce results faster and efficiently, practically giving a
better performance. The following are some advancements of technology:
Information Technology, Esoteric Tests, Genetic Testing, Pharmacogenetics,
Nanotechnology, Point-of-Care Testing, and Home Testing. To understand further,
I’ll briefly describe each.
Information technology provides a more efficient
way to communicate and provide services. Genetic testing allows the mapping of
the human genome, which focuses on the intervention of the pathophysiology of
inherited diseases. Pharmacogenetics allows physicians to prescribe medications
to patients depending on the individual’s genetic makeup. Home testing allows any
individual user to have a clue on how healthy they are, although further tests
should be done in the laboratory itself.
As we shift to the 21st
century, continuing development is inevitable. We have to embrace such and be
ready for new technologies to come that may simplify our work. Though thankful,
we should not forget that the human efforts are essential. To be better, start
within you.
