The world’s leading diagnostics manufacturers established AdvaMedDx to advocate for the power of medical diagnostic tests to promote wellness, improve patient outcomes, and advance public health in the United States and abroad. AdvaMedDx represents one of the most dynamic and innovative sectors in the health care system. Diagnostics influence as much as 70% of health care decision making, and a new generation of diagnostics tests that provide insights at the molecular level is delivering on the promise of personalized medicine. AdvaMedDx has over 75 member companies that produce innovative, safe and effective diagnostic tests. These tests—performed in laboratories, at the hospital bedside, in doctor's offices, in medical clinics, and in the home—facilitate evidence-based medicine, improve quality of care, promote wellness, enable early detection of disease and often reduce health care costs. Operating as a division of AdvaMed, the Advanced Medical Technology Association, AdvaMedDx is the only advocacy organization dedicated exclusively to issues facing diagnostic manufacturers in the United States and abroad.
