Global private and public sector agencies have significantly increased their investment in the development of POC diagnostics to meet the unmet needs of patients in resource-limited settings, particularly disease burdened settings with limited access to laboratory infrastructure. However, previous research has demonstrated that the availability of health technologies in these settings does not always guarantee patient-centered outcomes. The applicability, effectiveness and sustainability of diagnostic technologies is affected by the involvement of all stakeholders during planning and implementation, which must be relevant to each specific context and sensitive to local culture. Factors such as infrastructure, resources, values and characteristics of participants can influence the implementation, scalability and sustainability of health interventions such as POC diagnostics. This book, “Implementation and Scale up of Point of Care (POC) Diagnostics in Resource-Limited Settings”, presents literature reviews and primary research studies focusing on the implementation and scale up of POC diagnostics in resource-limited settings.Implementation and Scale Up of Point of Care HumanitiesbicsscSocial interactionbicsscpoint-of-care-ultrasoundultrasoundimplementationpoint of care ultrasoundaugmented realitytelemedicinespatial accessibilityblood grouprhesus typepoint-of-care testingmaternal healthcareUpper East RegionGhanapoint-of-care ultrasoundmedical educationsyphilismaternal mortalityinterrupted time seriessegmented regression analysispoint-of-care CD4+ t testingqualitative surveyacceptabilitypatientshealthcare providersprimary healthcare clinicsHIV self-testingscale-upkey stakeholderquality HIV point-of-care-diagnosticsnominal group techniquestakeholder engagementself-testingnovel coronavirus disease-19blockchainartificial intelligencegeographical accessglucose-6-phosphate dioxygenase deficiencyantenatal careupper east regionschistosomiasisbarriers to diagnosticsaccess to healthcareend-user perspectivesneglected tropical diseasesNigeriacase managementelectronic health information systemdiagnosistreatmentpoint-of-carelow and middle income countriespoint-of-care diagnosticshealthcare servicesCOVID-19 eraHumanitiesSocial interactionMashamba-Thompson Tivaniedt1285486Drain Paul KedtMashamba-Thompson TivaniothDrain Paul KothBOOK9910557443003321Implementation and Scale Up of Point of Care (POC) Diagnostics in Resource-Limited Settings3019595UNINA
