Introduction :
In a country as large and diverse as India, access to quick and reliable diagnostic services can make all the difference in saving lives. Point-of-care (POC) testing brings diagnostic capabilities directly to the patient’s side—whether in a hospital, clinic or rural health centre—delivering rapid results and improving treatment decisions.
What Is Point-of-Care Testing?
Point-of-care testing refers to medical diagnostic tests performed near the patient, rather than sending samples to a central laboratory. These devices are compact, portable and deliver results within minutes, empowering healthcare professionals to take immediate action.
Examples:
-
Blood glucose monitors
-
HbA1c testing devices
-
CRP test kits
-
Pulse oximeters
-
Portable blood pressure monitors
