“…The clinical laboratory for in vitro diagnostics is facing pressure these days to preserve cost control while constantly being nudged to provide better services through new initiatives. Another vital challenge for diagnostics testing in the future is the shrinking workforce, (1)(2)(3)(4) which is attributed to increased competition for a finite talent pool and an ageing population. Technological advances in laboratory testing, complemented by a shift in laboratory management and operations, may be the answer.…”

“…The use of digital technologies in education continues to increase and evolve for several reasons. First, there is a demand on teachers to improve and expand their use of digital technologies in teaching [14,21]. This can be seen from the increasing use of concepts of digital competence and digital literacy in public discourse [1] and in white papers from government and higher education institutions (HEIs) [13].…”

“…Current BLS education encounters several challenges, such as (i) limited resources and time at campuses, (ii) limited resources and time at supervised professional placement fields, and the major challenge of (iii) how to reproduce the up-to-date conditions (or elements of the conditions) of an authentic working environment [13,14]. Such a simulated environment would allow for learning about the environments and tools at a workplace, thus easing the transition phase from the educational institution at a much earlier stage and enabling focus on workplace-related activities.…”

Simulations, serious games, and virtual reality (SSG) applications represent promising support for achieving practical proficiency, but it is difficult to know how to introduce them into a new environment. This paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of introducing new SSGs to a non-computer related educational environment—biomedical laboratory science (BLS) education. By following the choice, construction, and evaluation of a gamified app for practicing phlebotomy (StikkApp), not only the usefulness of the application, but also the general needs and possibilities for supporting SSG applications, are discussed. This paper presents the evaluation of StikkApp through an experimental study examining its use on mobile devices, as a web app and by discussing challenges for a corresponding virtual reality app by BLS students and their teachers. This evaluation focused on questions concerning usage scenarios, technologies, and how the design of the app can be aligned to learning goals necessary for education. By discussing these requirements and possibilities for apps and technology support for using SSG apps for BLS students, this paper contributes to a better understanding of using digital support for sustainable education.

“…The concern for laboratory staffing shortages is likely to continue. A 2012 ASCP survey in the US showed vacancy rates of 7% in core labs [58,59]. Findings such as these may hasten strategies to reduce staffing needs, namely consolidation and automation.…”

Predicting the future is a difficult task. Not surprisingly, there are many examples and assumptions that have proved to be wrong. This review surveys the many predictions, beginning in 1887, about the future of laboratory medicine and its sub-specialties such as clinical chemistry and molecular pathology. It provides a commentary on the accuracy of the predictions and offers opinions on emerging technologies, economic factors and social developments that may play a role in shaping the future of laboratory medicine.
