Traditionally diagnostic tests have been carried out in laboratories but technological advances coupled with political, social and economic drivers have given rise to a variety of tests that are carried out at the point of sampling - often referred to as Point-of-Care (POC) tests. A number of POC devices are already on the market. They utilise different technologies and cover a wide variety of human and animal health areas. An extension of POC testing is self-testing; it now seems many years ago that pregnancy test kits became available to the public, but there are many other at-home kits being developed.New opportunities continue to emerge for the development of rapid hand-held or field-based devices for use by health and veterinary professionals. These sorts of devices have strong policy implications and their design features are of great interest to policymakers. Important issues arise, especially the question of who obtains, views, and shares the test results, particularly of tests for pathogens with health implications for UK citizens and livestock. Strategic decisions on health management and responses to emergencies cannot be delivered without access to key data.

传统上，诊断测试是在实验室进行的，但技术进步加上政治，社会和经济驱动因素，导致了在采样点进行的各种测试-通常被称为床旁（POC）测试。许多POC设备已经在市场上。它们利用不同的技术，涵盖各种人类和动物健康领域。POC检测的一个延伸是自我检测;现在看来，许多年前，怀孕测试试剂盒已成为公众可用，但有许多其他家庭试剂盒正在开发中。新的机会不断出现，为快速手持或现场设备的发展，供卫生和兽医专业人员使用。这类工具具有很强的政策影响，其设计特点是决策者非常感兴趣的。重要的问题出现了，特别是谁获得，查看和分享测试结果的问题，特别是对英国公民和牲畜健康影响的病原体测试。如果无法获得关键数据，就无法作出关于卫生管理和紧急情况应对的战略决定。
