Point of Care Testing

POCT refers to tests that are performed in close proximity to patients including those tests performed in hospital ICUs, emergency treatment rooms, hospital wards or clinical practices including offices of practicing doctors as well as patient-performed tests such as the blood glucose monitoring tests.

Because they can quickly provide results which doctors can immediately use to choose appropriate remedies, they are now widely used in various situations including diagnosis of influenza viruses and pregnancy.
