Medical diagnosis systems have undergone significant changes as a result of intelligent technologies, such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things, from the collection, transmission, and detection of test samples to the review of reports and the provision of clinical feedback. In addition to significantly enhancing the efficiency, consistency, and accuracy of medical laboratory testing, these technologies also assist the improvement of individualized healthcare and medical expert systems, as well as the early detection and treatment of diseases. The future development of medical laboratories will focus on integrating big data and diverse intelligent resources, cooperating more closely with clinical departments, and realizing the effective pathway of patient-centered care. The purpose of this review is to illustrate the current state of intelligent technology integration in medical laboratories and provide a preliminary discussion about the potential future influences of intelligent technology development on the evolution of medical laboratories.</p>","PeriodicalId":100656,"journal":{"name":"iLABMED","volume":"1 1","pages":"82-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ila2.9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50126514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Communicable diseases, particularly emerging infectious diseases, have also attracted attention due to their enormous impact on public health and the global economy. The most prominent example is the current global Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The unprecedented and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the necessity for readily available, accurate, and rapid laboratory medicine (LM) practices. Nevertheless, current LMs and journals in particular have a window for improvement. First, there are limited numbers of professionals available in this field compared to the other disciplines. The current status quo is that most LM manuscripts must be submitted to comprehensive journals or other journals related to the research disease. Second, most LM journals are run by laboratory personnel who are often more concerned with technical advances than with clinical needs. Lastly, several young LM scientists expressed their desire to have a dedicated platform to discuss, communicate, and publish their works on LM. We were therefore motivated to launch <i>iLABMED</i>, an international public forum dedicated to LMs. The establishment of <i>iLABMED</i> adopts the “four I” strategy, namely “Innovation,” “Intelligence,” “Integration,” and “International.” We are attempting to establish a top-tier journal in the field of LM.</p>","PeriodicalId":100656,"journal":{"name":"iLABMED","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ila2.5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50155307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
