Wearable devices are generating clinically relevant data at an unprecedented scale; patients with diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and cardiovascular disease produce endless data from continuous glucose monitors (CGM), wearable electrocardiography patches, blood pressure devices, pulse oximeters, and sleep trackers.

Yet most of this data remains within proprietary apps and is not integrated into the electronic health record, resulting in a disconnect from clinical decision-making.

In the latest edition of Clinical Laboratory News’s Ask the Expert, Dr. Earnest J. P. Daniel discusses why and how laboratories should engage with wearable data, and what CGM tells us that traditional cardiometabolic markers don’t.

Increasing reimbursement for genetic and molecular testing is a little bit of an art.

Dr. Michael Astion, medical director of regional laboratories at Seattle Children’s Hospital, and Darci Sternen, a laboratory genetic counselor at Seattle Children’s, recently shared their recommendations for supporting strong reimbursement, including best practices for selecting the right current procedural terminology codes, processes to ensure that clinical documentation meets payer policies, and how to use appeals if legitimate claims are denied.

They are active members of Patient-centered Laboratory Utilization Guidance Services, a laboratory stewardship collaborative co-founded by Astion to improve laboratory test ordering, interpretation, and reimbursement. https://ow.ly/KFJA50Zx98P

There’s no dispute that cannabis can and often does slow reaction times and distort perceptions of time and distance; it’s easy to understand why someone who’s high shouldn’t get behind the wheel. And drivers who show obvious signs of impairment can be convicted of a DUI without a blood test or breathalyzer.

But in the absence of clear evidence, the thorny question is this: At what point does someone who’s consumed cannabis become impaired, and can this be tied to a number from a diagnostic test? https://ow.ly/gI7A50Zwbre

Dr. Catherine (Cate) Omosule received the 2026 George Grannis Award for her scientific and research excellence in the area of biomarker development and validation, noninvasive sampling methodologies, and pediatric laboratory medicine. We spoke with her about how she became interested in biomarker development, what receiving this award means to her, and what excites her about the future of laboratory medicine.
