Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Point-of-Care Testing - Emerging Technologies, Analytical Performance, and Clinical Integration offers a comprehensive and forward-looking examination of how decentralized diagnostics are reshaping modern healthcare. Moving beyond the traditional view of rapid testing near the patient, the book explores point-of-care testing as an integrated clinical model that connects measurement, interpretation, and timely decision-making. It addresses key applications in primary care, kidney disease assessment, therapeutic drug monitoring, precision dosing, genomics, and resource-limited settings, while also examining the development of machine learning-enabled readers, lateral-flow interpretation, quantitative diagnostics, digital connectivity, and clinical decision support. Particular attention is given to analytical performance, quality management, operator competency, calibration, traceability, interoperability, governance, and the safe implementation of POCT across diverse healthcare environments. By combining clinical, technological, and organizational perspectives, the volume helps readers understand not only what emerging POCT technologies can achieve, but also what is required to introduce them responsibly and sustainably. Its principal advantages are its broad multidisciplinary scope, its emphasis on both innovation and analytical rigor, and its practical relevance to laboratory professionals, clinicians, pharmacists, researchers, healthcare managers, regulators, and diagnostic-device developers.
