Point-of-Care Testing – A Milestone in Consumer-Centric Healthcare Point-of-care testing is best defined by where it is done- anywhere outside labs. Healthcare delivery methods are transforming with the introduction of telehealth and point-of-care diagnosis. Point-of-care diagnosis (POCD) enables rapid rectification of diseases and aids in quick diagnosis. Its result of consistent innovations in biosensors, assay formats, bioanalytical platforms, and technologies such as lab-on-chip. Early detection allows early care. Several perspectives have been developed so far that pave the way to the next generation of POCDs. Testing devices have become portable owing to the need for faster test results. Rapid diagnosis tests are performed near the patient site and results can be quickly acted upon. This minimizes delay in treatment. POCDs are extremely useful in locations such as ambulances, accident space, military and space shuttles. These can be operated by patients themselves often called ‘self-test’. The most common usage of POCD is done in blood glucose monitoring, fecal occult blood, and rapid strep. As the healthcare sector is increasingly becoming consumer-centric. There is significant attention given to their convenience and ease. Testing devices that are easy to operate, compact, and efficient are anticipated to gain traction in the coming years.
