About this webinar

In remote areas of Northern Finland, where distance to major hospitals hinders timely diagnoses, a new approach is bringing faster, more accurate care to patients. This webinar explores how syndromic respiratory testing, implemented by Nordlab since 2019, is transforming healthcare for rural communities, particularly for children.

Join Vesa Mäki-Koivisto, PhD, a clinical microbiologist at Nordlab, as he dives into the impact of this technology. He'll explain how syndromic panel testing, now available to smaller hospitals and ward departments, significantly reduce turnaround times for results, enabling quicker and more accurate clinical decisions.

In addition, our speaker will draw on epidemiological data to highlight the importance of comprehensive respiratory testing. He'll show how relying solely on tests for influenza A/B, RSV and SARS-CoV-2 could miss 10% of viral infections each year.

This webinar provides an insightful look at how innovative testing strategies are bridging the healthcare gap in rural regions.
