Tomorrow’s laboratory connects more than systems

Written by Pieter De Smet | 28.10.2026

Laboratories are handling increasingly complex diagnostics, while healthcare professionals and patients expect results to be delivered faster and in a clearer format. At the same time, budgets and staffing capacity are under pressure. The question is therefore not just how a laboratory can work more efficiently internally, but also what role it plays across the entire care pathway.

For Pieter De Smet, Business Line Director Lab, and Sara Moeys, Product Manager Lab at Nexuzhealth, the answer lies in creating a more connected way of working in laboratories. A connected lab is not a standalone solution, but a vision for the sector: instruments, laboratory disciplines, healthcare professionals and data need to work together more effectively, so that diagnostic information reaches the right place sooner and laboratories can adopt new developments more easily.

With Nexuzhealth Lab, they are translating that vision into a new generation of laboratory software. The cloud-native platform brings different laboratory disciplines together, integrates new technologies flexibly and enables laboratories to respond more quickly to diagnostic innovation. This allows laboratories to focus on their core work while the technology continues to evolve in the background.
