More than 70% of all medical decisions are based on laboratory analysis. A well-functioning and efficient data-driven approach to laboratory diagnostics, together with the right system support, is therefore crucial to ensure fast and accurate diagnostics. Mylab has been working closely with its customers for 30 years. When studying customer needs, Mylab realized that data is a game-changer, driving the vision of the laboratories of the future. “Today we have an environment where we can use data on a whole new level,” says Juha Högmander, Chief Product Officer at Mylab

‘We now have the infrastructure to collect, combine and analyse data in a completely new way. This opens up enormous opportunities,’ says Juha Högmander, Chief Product Officer at Mylab.

As a leading expert in laboratory and diagnostic information systems, Mylab now presents its new version of My+ – an advanced, data-driven SaaS solution that unites all laboratory disciplines in a single platform. With real-time analytics, AI-driven insights and a seamless integration into the healthcare ecosystem, My+ enables faster and more accurate diagnoses, ultimately leading to better healthcare decisions and patient outcomes.

A new era for laboratory diagnostics

The vision Mylab had 30 years ago has now become a reality, thanks to modern cloud technology and AI.

We have reached a point where data can be processed faster, more efficiently and become a natural part of daily laboratory work, says Juha Högmander.

To further optimize laboratory diagnostics, Mylab is actively developing and integrating AI-powered models into My+. Through advanced algorithms and real-time analysis, the solution will not only be able to identify patterns and anomalies in test results, but also guide users in the decision-making process. Mylab’s development team is working with laboratories and healthcare providers to ensure that AI features are intuitive, reliable, and aligned with the high standards of healthcare

Another important aspect is coherent data management that allows the information in the solution to be used effectively and put into a broader context. For example, timestamps can provide insights into when samples were taken, compared to planned times. This is the important context that can be best, more accurately and efficiently provided directly at the data source, leading to a more cost-effective solution.

We’ve always been able to do calculations, but now we have the infrastructure to collect, combine and analyze data in a completely new way. This opens up huge opportunities, says Juha Högmander.

Scalable and future-proof

My+ is a flexible solution that adapts to the needs of the laboratory – from individual small units to university-level multidisciplinary laboratories. It is built to streamline the entire laboratory process, from sample collection to diagnosis, while reducing manual work and freeing up staff time.

Compatibility with the broader healthcare IT ecosystem is crucial. With My+, labs can seamlessly connect new systems and add additional capabilities over time – a strategy that both reduces costs and increases efficiency.

By supporting established standards such as FHIR and OpenEHR, we ensure seamless integration and interoperability between different healthcare systems. This allows laboratories to exchange data in a structured, secure and efficient way, strengthening collaboration across the healthcare ecosystem and improving patient care, explains Juha Högmander

Visitors to Vitalis 2025 will have the opportunity to see how My+ works in practice, with a particular focus on the process in genetics. The solution is designed to handle all laboratory specialties without compromising the unique needs of each discipline. Read more about our participation in the Vitalis event here. 

 

Focus on safety and compliance

Data and AI have transformed other industries, and even in healthcare there is a great deal of curiosity, but also a necessary caution. Ethical and legal aspects play a crucial role.

Compliance with EU regulations as well as national laws and guidelines is not only a necessity – it is a prerequisite for trust in healthcare. Data in the wrong hands can be dangerous, but in the right hands it can save lives, said Juha Högmander.

With My+, Mylab has created a future-proof, data-driven and secure laboratory solution an innovation that changes the way we work with laboratory diagnostics and helps create better care for everyone.
