Redefining Haematology: Key Takeaways from ACMTT 2026 & the Sysmex Booth!
At the 48th Annual Conference of the Association of Medical Technologists of Thailand (ACMTT 2026) on 29 June - 1July 2026 in Bangkok, the future of laboratory medicine took center stage under the theme "AI with a Human Touch."
Visitors to the Sysmex booth got an exclusive, hands-on look at how the fusion of artificial intelligence and advanced haematology parameters is transforming diagnostic workflows from simple cell counting into predictive, multi-dimensional analytics.
Here are the key highlights from the exhibition floor:
๐น3D Scattergrams (XR-Series): Moving beyond traditional 2D flagging, deep learning algorithms simultaneously evaluate cell size, internal complexity, and fluorescence in a 3D matrix. This allows precise isolation of abnormal cell populationsโtargeting a 30% to 40% reduction in manual slide review rates in high-throughput labs.
๐น Predictive Advanced Parameters:
NEUT-RI & NEUT-GI: Quantifies early innate immune responses.
RET-He + IPF: Mapped concurrently to give clinicians a real-time window into bone marrow activity for rapid differential diagnosis of complex anemias and thrombocytopenia.
๐น Network-Wide Orchestration: Software acts as an AI supervisor across multi-site laboratory networks, standardising flagging criteria, automating quality control, and eliminating workflow bottlenecks.
๐ก The Takeaway: AI is not replacing the medical technologistโit is empowering clinical teams with the tools to deliver faster, higher-value patient care.
