Manufactured by Hema Technologies, the ESR Stat Plus analyzer is a simple-to-use erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) device marketed to health care facilities. The ESR Stat Plus only requires a small blood sample (25 microliters), and when used correctly the results can be delivered to a doctor in approximately five minutes, improving diagnostic times. The field of diagnostics has moved beyond simply identifying a specific disease to predicting the progress of a disease, supporting drug development, and identifying patients who are likely to respond to specific treatments. Current diagnostic trends include using technology to continuously monitor certain groups, such as immobile patients and diabetics, and using saliva tests to measure the health and well-being of individuals based on specific hormone levels that may indicate changes in the immune system related to mental and physical stress. Additionally, mobile phone apps are increasingly being used to make disease diagnosis more accessible to people in developing areas, where getting to patients is challenging due to remote locations, a lack of trained health care providers, and prohibitive costs.
