DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Primary care providers (PCPs) are tasked with providing increasingly complex care as the population ages and the burden of chronic disease grows. Emerging microfluidic, nanotechnology and sensor miniaturization technologies are making it possible to develop a new generation of Point-of-Care test (POCT) systems for primary care that could improve efficiencies of primary care practices. To meet this critical national need, we propose to create a new center for rapid transformation of emerging point-of-care technologies into commercially viable, clinically-focused solutions for improving primary health care. We intend to leverage and deploy an existing, proven approach to needs-driven health care technology innovation pioneered and validated for more than a decade by the Center for Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technologies (CIMIT) - an established consortium of thirteen research institutions, universities and hospitals in the greater Boston area. Our specific aims are: 1) Apply CIMIT's innovation model to create clinically-driven point-of-care solutions that address critical areas of unmet need in primary healthcare areas of unmet need in primary healthcare. 2) Identify and assess unmet primary care needs and develop performance criteria where point-of-care technology solutions would have the highest impact. 3) Select the most promising point-of-care technologies and develop them into proof-of-concept prototypes. 4) Test and evaluate prototype performance in simulated clinical environments and clinical "living laboratories" relative to clinical performance and implementation criteria. 5) Transition prototypes that meet performance specifications into commercially licensable or start-up company opportunities. 6) Train and educate relevant stakeholders - including clinicians, engineers, scientists, students and industry partners - in the innovation process as it applies to meeting health care needs.. 7) Disseminate "lessons learned" and best practices in innovation methodology and process both nationally and internationally in collaboration with other POCTRN Centers.

描述（由申请人提供）：随着人口老龄化和慢性病负担的增加，初级保健提供者（pcp）的任务是提供越来越复杂的护理。新兴的微流体、纳米技术和传感器小型化技术使得开发新一代初级保健点检测（POCT）系统成为可能，从而提高初级保健实践的效率。为了满足这一关键的国家需求，我们建议建立一个新的中心，将新兴的护理点技术迅速转化为商业上可行的、以临床为重点的解决方案，以改善初级卫生保健。我们打算利用和部署现有的、经过验证的方法来实现需求驱动的医疗保健技术创新，该创新由医学和创新技术整合中心（CIMIT）开创并验证了十多年，CIMIT是一个由大波士顿地区的13个研究机构、大学和医院组成的联盟。我们的具体目标是：
