Summary

• A comprehensive global market report on
  this high-growth sector 
• The POC cardiology diagnostics market was
  worth over US2 billion in 2011 and rose by 9
  compared with 2010. This was driven by a growing
  interest in the adoption of POC technologies by
  both healthcare providers and patients at home,
  as well as the introduction of new products that
  enable POC testing for more applications, enhance
  ease-of-use and improve on current products. 
• POC testing can offer clear benefits over
  laboratory testing. As it is conducted in the
  presence of or near the patient, results are
  obtained quickly, enabling healthcare providers
  to act swiftly to emergencies such as heart
  attack and provide a diagnosis while the patient
  is still in the healthcare facility, speeding
  treatment and reducing visits to the doctor. For
  patients, self-testing helps users control their
  condition, reducing the chance of complications
  and improving health, while lowering the time and
  cost of treating complications, and the need for
  patients to regularly see their doctor.

• Clinical acceptance remains an obstacle 
• This is a key issue. Healthcare providers need
  evidence that POC diagnostics provide lab-quality
  results and benefits in terms of
  clinical-usefulness, convenience and cost in
  order to adopt them. Unsurprisingly, concerns
  have been raised by laboratory professionals
  about the decentralisation of hospital testing
  and by doctors about patient and consumer
  self-testing. In both cases, there is concern
  that the use of POC products by less skilled
  users may result in inaccurate diagnoses, leading
  to resistance to the changes needed for POC
  products to be widely implemented. 
• Overcoming these issues will be critical to the
  POC diagnostic sector if it is to realise its
  full potential at present, adoption and usage
  rates vary widely, and there remains much
  untapped potential in the worldwide market.

• Innovation is making an impact 
• There is currently much innovation in the
  market. Products that enable multi-parameter
  diagnostics using technologies such as
  microfluidics are a major focus, as are products
  for personalised medicine. For example, the first
  POC DNA analysis system, Spartan Biosciences RX
  CYP2C19, has European approval to help identify
  patients with impaired metabolism to the popular
  anti-blood clotting medication, clopidogrel. 
• This new September 2012 report delivers a

  130-page highly detailed report Volume 1 of a
  4-volume study of the whole IVD sector to be
