Could Amazon or Google hold the key to the future of public health diagnostics?

By Ivor Campbell - posted Monday, 3 June 2024


While consumer trust in tech companies handling health data remains a concern, as does the cybersecurity crisis affecting healthcare firms, one or more of them has the scale and resources to establish a collaborative platform, where ideas and technologies are shared transparently, fostering a collective approach to innovation.

They could help to champion sustainability by investing in research and development, focused on eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes. By promoting recyclable or biodegradable materials, a global giant could set new industry standards and encourage others to follow suit.

They could also leverage influence to advocate for regulatory changes that support the integration of sustainable practices. By actively engaging with regulatory bodies, a global giant could pave the way for a more flexible regulatory environment conducive to innovation and sustainability.

They could also offer financial incentives or other benefits to companies willing to collaborate on the development of a universal reader. By aligning individual interests with the greater goal of industry advancement, a global giant can break down barriers to collaboration.

The quest for a universal reader in the MedTech sector is fraught with challenges, from intellectual property concerns to sustainability issues. However, by harnessing the resources and influence of a global giant like Microsoft or Amazon, the industry may find a way forward.

Collaboration, transparency, and a shared commitment to sustainability could pave the path towards a future where a universal reader revolutionizes diagnostic testing, benefiting both the industry and the planet. It's time for industry leaders to rise above individual concerns and collectively shape a more sustainable and innovative future for MedTech.
