Point of Care Diagnostics for Infectious Diseases

Explore the growing field of point-of-care testing (POCT) for infectious diseases in this informative keynote presentation. Gain insights from molecular virologist Jeanne A. Jordan, PhD, as she discusses the global demand for POCT, its impact on preventing infection spread, and the challenges of implementing these tests outside traditional laboratory settings. Learn about the criteria for designing effective POCT devices, including the WHO's ASSURED guidelines. Discover the latest technological advances in POCT for infectious disease diagnosis, such as molecular-based platforms, and understand their potential impact on global health. Examine applications for infectious disease POCT, review key design criteria, and identify cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of point-of-care diagnostics.
