Simplifying Lab Reporting for Roche’s Diagnostic Customers
Roche collaborated with SoluteLabs to create a simplistic diagnostic reporting software that they could offer to their end customers, the laboratories, to improve their competitiveness. The Cobas Infinity is one of Roche Diagnostics premier machines that spews out data in an HL7 format. SoluteLabs was tasked with creating an offline-first installable program that would create customizable lab reports when fed the HL7 data.
The innovation's true impact? Lab professionals spend less time wrestling with data and more time where it matters most—improving patient care through informed clinical decisions.
Challenges
Many smaller laboratories struggled to justify the high licensing fees of existing reporting tools, which often failed to deliver a return on investment proportional to their scale of operations.
