ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Point of care (POC) tests are performed outside central laboratories and produce quick results. Globally, millions of dollars are spent annually on POC diagnostic testing, both professional testing and self-testing. In 2016, sales of POC testing reached $18.4 billion, according to Kalorama information. The market research firm has published a new information page to make finding information about the market easier. Point of care has been an important goal in IVD (in vitro diagnostics), and new developments have made achieving it possible. Point of care testing is transforming, thanks to innovations in smartphones, biosensors, lab-on-a-chip, and wearable devices. To provide a single source for point-of-care testing information, Kalorama Information has consolidated its recent analysis on a curated information page
"Point of care testing's twin hallmarks are speed and efficiency," said Bruce Carlson, Publisher of Kalorama Information. "POC is done within the clinical management setting; testing is done in proximity to the patient, samples are analyzed, and results are determined and interpreted on-site, within the time span of an office visit. Reduced turnaround time streamlines the workflow, eliminating the need to re-familiarize physicians with the case."
Kalorama Information's Page includes:
- Advantages of Point of Care
- Market Information
- Trends & Opportunities
- Industry News
- Overview of Point of Care
- Point of Care Market Leaders
- And More.
The page also features "A Plethora of New Products" where recent introductions in near-patient testing are listed.
For healthcare professionals, having an expedited diagnosis is of paramount concern. Point of care diagnostics will be part of a paradigm shift from curative medicine to predictive, personalize, and preemptive medicine. POC testing has migrated from the hospital to different medical environments over the years. Thanks to the introduction of transportable, portable, and handheld instruments, point of care testing exists in the workplace, at home, within disaster care and, most recently, convenience clinics.
