Enabling Point-of-Care Diagnostics

CHI’s Annual Enabling Point-of-Care Diagnostics program, part of the Next Generation Dx Summit, will take place August 24-25, 2021 with flexible virtual and in-person participation options.

Point-of-care testing stands to revolutionize all aspects of medicine by providing rapid test results, patient access to data and a broad range of tests available. The need for self-testing and rapid turnaround was brought to light during the COVID-19 pandemic and the field is expanding to enable and ensure a steady supply chain, reliable results, interconnectivity of platforms and management of health data by consumers. The goal of the POCT community is to meet the current demands in the market.
