Precision Diagnostics for Mobile Health Using Capillary-driven Microfluidics
Abstract
Microfluidictechnology may revolutionize point-of-care(POC) diagnostics owing to the precision with which small volumes of samples can be analyzed outside of centralized healthcare infrastructures. However, this potential will only be fully harnessed if biochemical reactions can be implemented on microfluidics in a way that supports (i) simple use, (ii) scalability to many types of assays ,and (iii) interactivity with electronic devices such as smart phones and with the ‘Internet of Things’.
