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 interactionbicsscacceptabilityaccess to healthcareantenatal careartificial intelligenceaugmented realitybarriers to diagnosticsblockchainblood groupcase managementCOVID-19 eradiagnosiselectronic health information systemend-user perspectivesgeographical accessGhanaglucose-6-phosphate dioxygenase deficiencyhealthcare providershealthcare servicesHIV self-testingimplementationinterrupted time serieskey stakeholderlow and middle income countriesmaternal healthcarematernal mortalitymedical educationneglected tropical diseasesNigerianominal group techniquenovel coronavirus disease-19patientspoint of care ultrasoundpoint-of-carepoint-of-care CD4+ t testingpoint-of-care diagnosticspoint-of-care testingpoint-of-care ultrasoundpoint-of-care-ultrasoundprimary healthcare clinicsqualitative surveyquality HIV point-of-care-diagnosticsrhesus typescale-upschistosomiasissegmented regression analysisself-testingspatial accessibilitystakeholder engagementsyphilistelemedicinetreatmentultrasoundupper east regionUpper East RegionHumanitiesSocial interactionMashamba-Thompson Tivaniedt1285486Drain Paul KedtMashamba-Thompson TivaniothDrain Paul KothBOOK9910557443003321Implementation and Scale Up of Point of Care (POC) Diagnostics in Resource-Limited Settings3019595UNINA
