There is an urgent need for rapid, affordable diagnostics for Alzheimer's disease (AD), particularly those that can detect phosphorylated Tau 181 (p-tau181)─a key biomarker─directly in plasma. We present a scalable, label-free electrochemical biosens...
Point-of-care (POC) devices have grown in popularity due to their ease of use, low cost, and speedy on-site diagnostic capabilities. This study focuses on ketamine detection by colorimetric and lateral flow assays (LFA), with aptamer-based LFA emergi...
Respiratory viral infections pose a significant global public health challenge, partly due to the difficulty in rapidly and accurately distinguishing between viruses with similar symptoms at the point of care, hindering timely and appropriate treatme...

Point-of-care ultrasound is an emerging technology in prehospital emergency care, covering a wide range of medical and traumatic disease patterns. As an ad-hoc imaging modality, it is performed on-scene and during ground or aeromedical transport, ena...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is transforming cardiovascular diagnostics by enhancing image acquisition, interpretation, and workflow efficiency. These advancements hold promi...
BACKGROUND: In many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), widespread access to obstetric ultrasound is challenged by lack of trained providers, workload, and inadequate resources required for sustainability. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powe...
Digital nucleic acid amplification testing (dNAAT)-including digital PCR and isothermal techniques-has transformed precision diagnostics by enabling single-molecule quantification. However, its widespread adoption in point-of-care testing (POCT) rema...
BACKGROUND: Malaria continues to pose a significant health challenge, particularly in low-resource settings (LRS), where access to reliable and timely diagnostics is often limited. In this context, point-of-care (POC) in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) play...
The growing cancer burden and suboptimal diagnostic capacity in low- and middle-income countries calls for urgent innovation in diagnostic solutions. Point-of-care technologies (POCTs) offer a transformative approach to decentralizing cancer diagnost...
BACKGROUND: Hospital diagnostic imaging significantly contributes to healthcare's carbon emissions, with modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), accounting for a disproportionate share of energy consumption a...
