Real-Life Impact: How Diagnostics Save Lives   Meet Judith, a patient whose life was changed thanks to early diagnosis through In vitro diagnostics (IVDs). Judith was at risk of a serious condition, but with the help of diagnostic information, her healthcare team was able to detect it early, leading to a positive outcome.   Judith’s story is just one example of how the Value of Diagnostic Information (VODI) is transforming healthcare. IVDs enable doctors to make informed decisions faster, with more precision, leading to better outcomes, reduced costs, and healthier futures.   When diagnostics guide 70% of medical decisions, they don't just influence care—they save lives.   Watch Judith's full story here 👉 https://bit.ly/3ORbwfY
