Bioinformatics in IVD Testing

LONDON, April 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportbuyer.com has added a new market research report:

Bioinformatics in IVD Testing

http://www.reportbuyer.com/pharma_healthcare/diagnostics/bioinformatics_ivd_testing_1.html

Computer diagnostics could offer opportunity for clinical laboratory professionals to add value to clinicians in diagnosing diseases. IT companies in collaboration with test vendors are developing computer software that complements the skills of human test interpretation.

This report, Bioinformatics in IVD Testing looks at the various IVD market segments where bionformatics is expected to have the most impact.

Bioinformatics-based testing has made a huge contribution to cancer diagnosis and therapy management. In infectious disease diagnostics it allows the detection of difficult to culture pathogenic bacteria or viruses and to uncover the epidemiology of infections. The bioinformatic analysis of mutations of known human genes is used to diagnose common disorders, inherited diseases, or different types of cancer and can indicate the prognosis of malignant diseases.

What developments are driving this trend? What are labs and providers doing to incorporate these products into practice? And how are payors and regulators reacting? Who is partnering with who to deliver a solid combination product? This report delves into these issues and provides an excellent round-up of the current status of bioinformatics in the IVD industry.

As part of its coverage, the report provides information on the following developments:

• Selected Diagnostic Tests That Incorporate Bioinformatics
• Selected Multiplexed Tissue-Based Cancer Tests
• Selected Histology Analyses Software Tools
• Selected Blood-Based Cancer Biomarker Tests That Use Software Analysis Tools
• Selected Chronic Diseases Tests With Integrated Bioinformatics
• Selected Innovations in Bioinformatic-Based Tests For Psychiatric Disorders
• Selected Systems For Bioinformatics-Based Infectious Disease Testing
• Selected Next Generation Sequencing Platforms

The report discusses tests and technologies that are currently available and those that are expected to take their place. Generally, current products and technologies establish the standard of care and its value to payers. Many of the assays and techniques presented in the report are expected to replace the standard of care in 2013, but with healthcare systems' emphasis on cost/benefit analysis for new technologies adoption, the market value and thus penetration capabilities of newer approaches may be limited.

The report looks at the bioinformatics-based product offerings and developments of the following companies, among others:

• Abbott
• Cannon
• RocheAffymetrix Inc.
• AssureRx Health, Inc.
• Bio-Reference Laboratories, Inc. (BRLI)
• Dako A/S
