Why POCT?
Bringing Diagnostics to the Doorstep – The Future of Healthcare
In an age where services are becoming increasingly doorstep-driven—be it food delivery through Swiggy and Zomato, or household essentials through Amazon and Flipkart—the behavior of consumers is evolving. Convenience has become a priority. People are spending more time indoors and expect services to come to them, not the other way around.
Healthcare is no exception.
This shift in lifestyle is driving the need for home-based medical solutions, and Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) is the perfect response to this demand. Compact, portable, and easy to use, POCT devices enable rapid diagnostic testing at or near the patient’s location—be it at home, in remote clinics, or even during field visits.
Why is POCT so relevant today?
Convenience: Just as online platforms bring groceries and meals to your doorstep, POCT brings lab-level diagnostics to the patient’s bedside or home, eliminating the need for travel to a lab or hospital.
Speed: Results are delivered within minutes, aiding faster clinical decision-making—critical in emergency, elderly care, or chronic disease management.
Accessibility: Especially valuable in rural, peri-urban, and under-resourced areas, where access to full-fledged diagnostic labs may be limited.
Affordability & Portability: Modern POCT devices are cost-effective and lightweight, making them easy to carry and operate—even by paramedics or trained health workers.
