Image Assist

Good news to close the year: delays in diagnosis remain a challenge—but steady progress shows they don’t have to be inevitable.

The improvement is happening with better coordination between providers, more thoughtful use of diagnostic imaging, and incremental changes aimed at reducing friction in the system.

Portable and handheld ultrasound devices provide real-time imaging at the point of care, are more affordable and mobile than traditional machines, and help clinicians perform diagnostic exams directly at the patient’s bedside, improving access and efficiency in diverse healthcare settings.

A delayed diagnosis doesn’t usually look dramatic. It often looks like waiting.

A JAMA Pediatrics study found that nearly 1 in 6 children with serious medical conditions experienced a delayed diagnosis. For children, timing matters. Delay is not neutral.
