Issue: Implementation of Rapid Testing and Diagnosis The number of tests for infectious disease viruses has significantly increased, putting pressure on healthcare settings to respond. It is desirable for doctors and nurses to conduct tests quickly and efficiently. In such circumstances, there is a growing demand for Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) aimed at reducing and simplifying testing time. POCT refers to real-time testing conducted in healthcare settings using small analyzers and rapid diagnostic kits, encompassing all clinical tests performed outside of hospital laboratories or outsourced centers. By utilizing POCT, healthcare professionals on-site, such as doctors and nurses, can quickly conduct tests and treatments in procedure rooms or at the bedside without the support of a laboratory. Solution Company A, which develops infectious disease testing equipment, has adopted Advantech's PCAP multi-touch monitor "IDK-1110P" to develop POCT-compatible infectious disease testing equipment that provides results in just 15 minutes. This solution allows on-site healthcare professionals to operate the monitor while wearing medical gloves and easily conduct tests and diagnoses without laboratory support.
