摘要
Point-of-care(POC)testing offers rapid results of diagnostics near the site of patient care,which can significantly improve health care and management of infectious diseases.POC testing now plays a crucial role in healthcare delivery of both developed and developing countries,particularly in developing countries where medical resources are limited.Challenges remain for the biomedical engineering community to develop truly portable,automatic,low-cost and easyto-use POC tools.Blood tests are the most commonly-used diagnostic methods nowadays because blood analyses provide definitive information of medical conditions of patients.Traditional blood tests,including sample collection,preparation and detection,are conducted using large-scale blood an-
