Point-of-Care (POC) Diagnostics is a rapidly growing field of medical diagnostics that enables healthcare providers to quickly and accurately diagnose patients in a variety of settings. POC Screening is a subset of POC Diagnostics that focuses on the detection of infectious diseases, such as HIV, hepatitis, and sexually transmitted infections. POC Screening is typically conducted using rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) that provide results in minutes, allowing healthcare providers to make timely decisions about patient care. POC Screening is becoming increasingly important in the healthcare industry, as it allows for the early detection of infectious diseases and the implementation of appropriate treatment. It also helps to reduce the spread of infectious diseases by identifying and isolating infected individuals. POC Screening is particularly beneficial in resource-limited settings, where access to laboratory testing is limited. Some companies in the POC Screening market include Abbott, Alere, Becton Dickinson, Cepheid, and Roche. Show Less Read more
