Developing Point-of-Care Technologies with Clinical Applications

POCTRN


The goal of the Point Of Care Technology Research Network is to develop technologies with clinical applications using a network model that enhances complementary strengths and builds multidisciplinary partnerships.

To achieve this, each POCTRN Center performs or facilitates five core functions:

  • Conducts in-house clinical testing of prototype point-of-care devices
  • Collaborates with physical, biochemical and computational scientists, and engineers on exploratory technology development projects
  • Completes clinical needs assessments in areas anticipated to advance the field of point-of-care testing and disseminates this information to the technology development community
  • Provides training to technology developers on clinical issues related to the development of point-of-care devices
  • Provides an adequate administrative structure to ensure that the large complex Center achieves its goals
