Technology transfer in the diagnostics industry.
Initiatives are underway to increase links between researchers and inventors working in the diagnostics sector and companies ready to commercialize the new technologies.  This article describes the formation and aims of two groups working in this area, and reports on a review that has been made of the market requirements and opportunities for advanced sensors in the health care sector.  The medical sensors market is predicted to expand during the next few years and the best opportunities for their development are outlined.
