Point of care diagnostics are used to diagnose and monitor different diseases such as diabetes and cardiac diseases and provide immediate results. It includes the use of different types of kits such as infectious disease kits and fertility testing kits for immediate results. Point of care diagnostics are commonly used in physician offices and clinics due to the availability of on-site point of care laboratory tests, increased demand for patient centric care, higher penetration in rural areas, and enhanced patient outcomes. In addition, there is a trend for outsourcing tests to physician offices as it incurs lower costs and increases the efficiency of the test.
