What is POCT?
Point-Of-Care Technologies are medical diagnostic tests performed outside the laboratory in close proximity to where a patient is receiving care. This allows health care providers to make clinical decisions more rapidly, conveniently and efficiently.
ACME POCT assists and enables inventors of POC technologies for cardiac, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep applications to translate them to improve patient care.
