Abstract

U.S. studies show that the global point-of-care (POC) diagnostics market will reach $40.5 bn by 2022, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%. This is one of the reasons why HES-SO Valais-Wallis and CSEM, acting on behalf of the NTN Swiss Biotech thematic platform in vitro Diagnostics (TP IVD), invited interested parties on October 26, 2017 to the SWISS SYMPOSIUM in Point-of-Care Diagnostics (see CHIMIA No. 12/2017). We now bring the second report on the future prospects of POC diagnostics.
