Infectious Diseases Diagnostics Day : Innovation and Challenges

---

Infectious disease diagnostics are evolving rapidly, driven by breakthrough technologies such as mass spectrometry, sequencing, artificial intelligence and imaging. Yet, their integration into clinical practice remains uneven with numerous barriers still slowing down their adoption.
This one-day meeting offers a unique opportunity to reflect on 15 years of innovation in infectious diseases diagnostic, bringing together the perspectives of clinicians, researchers and industry stakeholders. The program includes:
• Clinical insights and feedback from the field,
• A focus on diagnostic workflows and technological integration,
• The contributions of AI, immunology, and serology,
• And a collective reflection on the One Health approach to address global challenges.
An event designed to identify key levers, share concrete solutions and accelerate the development of more effective, integrated infectious disease diagnostics for all healthcare actors.
