“Expansion of Point-of-Care (POC) Testing for Rapid Diagnostics”
- One major trend in the Immuno IVD market is the rapid expansion of Point-of-Care (POC) diagnostic solutions, which enable testing to be conducted closer to the patient, such as in clinics, pharmacies, or at home.
- POC diagnostics allow for faster decision-making, especially in emergency and outpatient settings, improving patient management and reducing the burden on centralized labs
- For instance, Abbott’s i-STAT Alinity system is gaining global adoption due to its handheld design and ability to deliver lab-accurate results in minutes, revolutionizing diagnostics in remote and resource-limited settings
- This trend is transforming the IVD landscape by promoting accessibility, decentralization, and speed in diagnostics, especially in infectious disease screening and chronic disease monitoring
