Why do we invest billions in drugs, BUT far less in the diagnostics needed to ensure they’re used effectively? That question motivated our new @ScienceMagazine paper on diagnostics, innovation, and disease burden.science.org/eprint/7B2DEPTAH…

Our publication @ScienceMagazine argues that w/o right tests the best medicines make no difference. Advances in obesity & Alzheimer’s drugs are outpacing tests needed to guide their use. Regulatory and payment reforms are needed! @UCSFTRANSPERS science.org/eprint/7B2DEPTAH…
Diagnostics aren’t just “tests.” They’re foundational to precision medicine, AI-driven care, and equitable health systems. It is important to have policies that recognize their value in care.
Grateful to my co-authors and fellow @NASEM_Health Committee members on an earlier report.
