Point of Care Diagnostics at Resource Limited Settings

Description:
This workshop will introduce key concepts and technologies behind point-of-care (POC) diagnostics with a focus on applications in resource-limited settings. Topics will include simplified system design, integration of essential diagnostic functions, and practical considerations for field deployment. Attendees will gain a broad understanding of how to approach diagnostic development for low-resource environments and be introduced to tools and strategies that support innovation in this context.

Target Audience:
This workshop is intended for researchers, engineers, clinicians, and entrepreneurs interested in developing or implementing microfluidic diagnostics for global health. It will particularly benefit graduate students, postdocs, and early-career professionals working on POC diagnostics, frugal technologies, or translational biomedical devices.
