Smartphone-based point-of-care (POC) diagnostics are rapidly emerging as medical diagnostics, enabling remote or self-monitoring tools for general wellness and a range of health conditions. Smartphones enable low-cost, rapid, and handy POC diagnostics. Intrinsic sensors of smartphones or extrinsic sensing devices working with intelligent data analytics in a smartphone comprise smartphone-based POC diagnostics.
The applications of smartphone-based POC testing can be segmented into chronic diseases, infectious diseases, obstetrics/gynecology, ophthalmology, and wound care. The scope of this analysis is limited to chronic disease and infectious disease diagnosis, where innovation activities are high compared to other applications.
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases and healthcare consumerism trends are driving high demand for at-home and self-health monitoring solutions. Smartphone-based POC testing presents a substantial growth opportunity for medical diagnostic companies to explore.
Smartphones are expected to double as self-health diagnostic and monitoring devices in the near future.
