The requirement for advanced healthcare information system is increasing rapidly, which is why the need for laboratory information system (LIS) is rising as well. LIS includes a set of hardware and programs that are part of an integrated system designed for healthcare information. The system captures complex data and information which is related to medical and industrial laboratories. LIS aids in compiling the services related to treatment, care & rehabilitation, and diagnosis. The integrated healthcare system saves diagnosis time by streamlining back office operations and also aids in sharing information and discussing the treatment plan among doctors as per the patient’s need.
The laboratory information system market size is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Industrial, clinical, and drug discovery are the three applications of LIS. Among these, the largest demand for LIS was created for clinical applications in the past and the situation is projected to remain the same in the coming years as well. LIS are utilized in healthcare laboratories for clinical purposes including sequencing and molecular testing. Clinical LIS help automate all the major processes and generate accurate results efficiently. The demand for LIS for clinical applications is rising because of growing number of tests and higher cost because of the emergence of new technologies.

The growth in molecular diagnostics is contributing significantly to the increasing demand for LIS. Molecular diagnostics is a branch of in vitro diagnostics and is based on determining nucleic acid sequencing primarily for medical applications. Sequence determination is largely performed by making use of methods that are based on hybridization of labeled DNA probes with target nucleic acid sequences. The market for molecular diagnostics is changing rapidly for the better and the novel technologies are projected to yield product line extensions and machined for point-of-care market as test automation expands. This is expected to drive the market in the coming years.
The adoption of mobile-based application sand solutions is a key trend in the laboratory information system market. Mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones play a vital role in providing personalized health solutions. Multi-functional personalized mobile information systems offer a wide range of communication and information services to both clinicians and patients through smartphones. The utilization of mobile devices also decreases the need for patients to visit clinics or hospitals every time they require a diagnosis as their problems can be diagnosed by using mobile devices. Due to these factors, new mobile systems that aid in retrieving laboratory data easily have been designed.
