The diagnostics sector

The practice of medicine can be roughly divided into two specialties: the diagnosis of disease and the treatment of disease. Historically, healthcare investing has been focused on treatment, with pharmaceutical and biotech companies commanding the majority of attention. However, diagnosis remains a significant opportunity for the informed investor. Diagnostic products are pervasive in the healthcare system and as varied as the diseases the humans encounter. This report provides an overview of both the diversity and the commonalities in this market.
