Medical Laboratories should come to you

In this age of information, technology companies like 'Uber' have disrupted the status quo and made life easier for many. Mobile phlebotomy is one area similar to 'Uber' that will catalyze another disruption. Silicon Valley has been tagged as a hub for "fake-it-till-you-make-it" entrepreneurs and is undoubtedly the home for these future disruptions. There is a paradigm shift in how people communicate (Social Media) and now there is a shift in how people travel (Uber). A recent launch of another tech company highlighted a shift in medical testing and phlebotomy services.

Doctors can now order medical lab tests on a smartphone app and independent phlebotomists would visit patients at their home or office to collect their blood for testing. 'Iggbo' as the company was called was labelled as the 'Uber for blood' even by its founder Dr. Shaiv Kapadia. This innovative cardiologist intended to revolutionize and democratize healthcare by offering personalized medicine to all patients. This is proof that the internet is disrupting every industry and has levelled the playing field by facilitating the shift from the industrial age to the information age. GAV-MED SOLUTIONS intends to participate in this paradigm shift with technology and hence we edutain people on social media about topics related to the medical laboratory

Technology and Mobile Phlebotomy will change the future

Technological advancements, automation and robotics have rapidly been transforming Laboratory Medicine over the years. Doctors and Patients are seeking ways to get lab results quicker and with greater precision. Information systems are now creating networks of several medical companies and data is so easily accessed with just the touch of a button. Information is the final product of medical laboratories and the goal is to provide accurate data to Doctors that they can use to diagnose and treat patients. This is why laboratory information systems have become the pillar on which patient's health information is built.

Genetics and Artificial Intelligence will overtime gain more and more control of Laboratory Medicine which leads to my conclusion that future Medical Laboratory Scientists will have to be trained as Biomedical Engineers.  Another major advancement will be that mobile phlebotomy will eventually become the 'Uber' of Laboratory Medicine. Patients love convenience similarly to other customers of other business entities. Mobile Phlebotomy is basically the Medical Laboratory coming to the patient's home or work to draw their blood. The Mobile Phlebotomy business can be compared to the taxi business in which both business models are saving the customer time and providing convenience and satisfaction. 

Gav-Med is a brand that epitomizes everything related to the medical laboratory and extending its wings to bring mobile phlebotomy into the reach of all patients. The internet and social media will play an important role in facilitating communication and connection between Doctors, Patients, and Phlebotomists. Technology and Mobile phlebotomy will change the future of Lab Medicine around the world
