Next-generation point of care (POC) diagnostics are evolving to be smarter, faster, and more accessible, driven by embedded computation, microfluidics, multiplexing, and AI integration. This shift is underpinned by demographic trends, rising healthcare costs, cultural changes, and rapid growth in decentralized testing markets globally.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Medtech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The rise of smarter, multiplexed, and AI-powered point of care diagnostics means you must rethink how to reach users outside traditional labs, especially in home or remote settings. Early partnerships with technology suppliers or labs investing in integrated, rapid testing platforms can secure your edge in this fast-growing niche.
