I think the meaning is clear, but has anyone come across an English term for this? Context is a list of services at a spa, including:
Blutuntersuchung in der hauseigenen *Diagnosestrasse*. There are several Google references, it seems to be the new "in" thing, but couldn't find an English equivalent.
Thanks in advance for your input.

diagnostic center
IMO, this "Diagnosestrasse" is derived from the same term used e.g. in a workshop where a car is going from one diagnostic check to the next. This is not necessarily automated, it just means one check follows the other, like in a production line ("Fertigungsstrasse" in German). Here, it means that first you're having your blood pressure checked, then a blood sample taken, possibly an ECG made, etc. all in one go.

Comment: "Thanks, all, for your input. I ended up using in-house (hauseigenen) one-stop diagnostic center (Diagnosestrasse). Long, but clear, I think."

automated diagnosis system
I'm quite confident that it's a system which performs multiple tests on one blood sample, and may have robotics capabilities to split the sample into vials for tests with different reagents.

I'm not sure "center" is a good word here. It's just an out-of-the-box (and probably expensive) system that measures a couple of blood parameters automatically and probably delivers a plot. Here's some context with system versus center: "Abbott receives FDA marketing clearance for ABBOTT PRISM, the first fully automated blood testing system designed for high-volume testing in blood banks and plasmapheresis centers."

Don't forget that the operator of the system is a spa, not a medical center.

: If you check out a few spas that offer a "Diagnosestrasse" to see what it involves, it becomes quite obvious we're not talking about a sophisticated blood testing system, but various examinations any basic checkup involves.

I overfocused on Blutuntersuchung and stand corrected, Cetacea.
