PORTENT backs five new technologies to expand access to care
Five next-generation point-of-care technologies have been selected for funding by PORTENT, a Center for Point-of-Care Technologies for Nutrition, Infection, and Cancer at Cornell, focusing on developing enhanced diagnostics, and aimed at reducing delays and improving access for crucial healthcare across the globe.
Point-of-care (POC) diagnostics deliver fast, accurate test results at or near where patients receive care—at home, in clinics, or in low-resource settings. They are especially valuable for underserved populations. Closing the gaps in access to reliable diagnostics for the poor and marginalized remains a global challenge.
