Decentralised testing (point of care) and patient self testing

As healthcare systems face continued pressure to deliver improved access to care at a lower cost, increased connectivity between health care providers (HCPs) and patients becomes even more important. We want to bring lab-quality to point of care and patient self testing to enable making the best treatment decisions possible when patients need it most.

• Platforms and technologies supporting hospital care, ambulatory care and patient self testing (e.g. immunochemistry, clinical chemistry, blood gas & electrolytes, complete blood count, infectious disease, nucleic acid testing)

• Pioneering new fields/ applications for Point-of-Care and near patient testing (e.g. breath analysis, wearable sensors, physiological testing)

• New platforms and technologies with fully automated sample handling and detection functionality, lab like performance, and lowest cost disposables

• IT solutions supporting Integrated diagnostic information anywhere, anytime (e.g. smart apps, communicating sensors with smartphones, disposable read out with smartphones)
