Point-of-Care Testing (POCT)

Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) is a form of testing in which the analysis is performed where healthcare is provided close to or near the patient.

POCT uses mobile devices to analyse pathology samples, like blood and saliva, and provide on-the-spot results at a patient’s hospital bedside or in the community.

Samples are processed instantly, rather than transported to a lab for testing, delivering accurate results in minutes to inform clinical decision-making and improve patient care and outcomes.
