The in vitro diagnostics is an expanding market estimated to be worth more than $38 billion globally in 2007. In vitro diagnostics are thought to influence around 60% of all clinical decisions, yet IVD sales represent only around 2% of the total healthcare expenditure in Europe. With clinicians under increasing pressure for better clinical outcomes, in vitro diagnostics may provide the tools needed for the critical early detection of diseases.
SMi’s conference aims to bring together the market leaders in this area allowing for discussion about the various aspects of this growing market. Looking at the regulatory challenges and the needs of medical practitioners, consumers and drug developers this event intends to provide unique and valuable insight into the world of in vitro diagnostics.
