Point-of-care testing: One solution to global healthcare
Point-of-care diagnostic testing provides immediate, actionable results, right where you need them. The time has come to bring the healthcare to the people.
Point-of-care diagnostic testing transforms healthcare
Expanding Global Access
In fact, each year, Abbott alone delivers over one billion tests worldwide.
Shortening Treatment Time
For example: HIV patients who were tested with a POC device received antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment 130 days faster than those diagnosed with the help of a traditional lab.1
Improving Outcomes
Case in point: heart failure patients who received a POC test were discharged from the hospital 3 days sooner than those who didn’t have the advantage of POC testing, improving both economic and healthcare outcomes.2
