A miniaturised integrated biophotonic point-of-care genotyping system
Faraday Discuss., 2011This paper reports the development of a novel genotyping device specifically designed for point-of-care applications. As the results of the human genome project are applied to clinical practice there is an increasing requirement for simple to operate high-speed, potentially low-cost genotyping devices for use in the clinic.

Reconfigurable Point-of-Care Systems Designed with Interoperability Standards
The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005Interoperability standards, if properly applied to medical system design, have the potential to decrease the cost of point-of-care monitoring systems while better matching systems to patient needs. This paper presents a brief editorial overview of future monitoring environments, followed by a short listing of smart-home and wearable-device efforts ...

PDA based Point-of-care Personal Diabetes Management System
2005 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology 27th Annual Conference, 2004Diabetes is an incurable chronic disease with the prevalence high in developed countries. The number of patients in Korea is also on a steady increase. Patients have to self-manage their blood glucose level by daily test and insulin injection. Therefore, it is very important to assist them in self-management procedure.

A Point of Care Clinical Documentation System for Hospice Care Providers
Journal of Medical Systems, 2006This article identifies two areas of hospice care that may benefit the most from a point-of-care (POC) clinical documentation system: documentation for recertification and symptom/pain management. Applications as solutions for the hospice POC clinical documentation system need two documentation support tools: (1) knowledge-based external or internal ...

Compact point-of-care system for clinical diagnostics
Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 2009Objective of the study is the simultaneous measurement of three sepsis relevant parameters using a novel point-of-care system. Investigated parameters are C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and procalcitonin (PCT). The format is a fluorescence and microarray-based sandwich immunoassay.

Medication-management component of a point-of-care information system
American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, 1995Implementation of and experience with the medication-management component of a point-of-care information system are described. A point-of-care information system (CliniCare) implemented at a 326-bed primary and tertiary care center provides online medication profiles, medication administration scheduling, and other patient data. All medications are bar

A perspective on point of care systems.
Topics in health information management, 1994Point of care technology is finally being accepted in health care organizations. Portable wireless computers and database interoperability are facilitating this acceptance. Using point of care devices, caregivers can access and input patient data whenever, wherever, and however required. This technology will improve patient data access, improve quality,

Systems for Accessing Knowledge at Point of Care
1996High quality, state of the art patient care depends on a host of factors, but an irreplaceable one is assurance that the clinician’s storehouse of learning and judgment is continuously refreshed with new knowledge. Knowledge is necessary cognitive “fuel” for clinical decisions, but is perishable once tapped, and has a limited shelf life when stored ...

Biochip readout system for point-of-care applications
Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 2009A new low cost biochip readout system based on total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) including microfluidics is presented. The system is suitable for point-of-care diagnostics employing disposable substrates made of polymer foils producible at very low costs. Results for the reader sensitivity and dynamic range in comparison to state of the art
