Data Intensity

The medical laboratory industry entails highly complex, regulated tasks that rely heavily on specialized expertise and human judgment. Despite being data-driven, the stringent regulatory environment and high capital requirements make it challenging for AI to fully displace human roles. The workforce consists mainly of specialized professionals, which further reduces flexibility for AI integration.
