POCTCTR

Established by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) in 2007, the UC DavisPoint-of-Care (POC) Technologies Center develops novel diagnostic devices, testing methods, and interpretive tools that will help eliminate health disparities by making predictive, preemptive, preventive, and personalized care accessible to all communities. One of four in the United States, the Center focuses on critical-emergency-disaster care. The Center conducts needs assessment and provides facilities for environmental stress testing of future field-robust POC instruments. Additionally, the Center fosters educational activities that advance evidence-based medical practice in critical care, primary outreach, and low-resource environments, including global health settings.
