Webinar: RADx Tech Accessible Tests Program

In the Spring of 2022, RADx Tech launched a new program aimed at making COVID-19 home tests more accessible. The program applied the RADx Tech process to evaluate and support test companies, but at the same time, required new unique resources and capabilities. Learn about this program’s origin, stakeholders, and the process that is delivering results.

Speakers:
Brian Walsh
RADx Tech Accessibility Program Manager

Sarah Farmer
Director of Testing and Evaluation at the Center for Advanced Communications Policy at Georgia Tech, and the Managing Director of Georgia Tech’s HomeLab

Atlanta Center for Microsystems Engineered Point-of-Care Technologies

Focus: To develop and translate microsystems-engineered technologies including microchip-enabled devices that include microelectromechanical systems (MEMs)-based sensors, microfluidics, and smartphone-based systems.

Johns Hopkins Center for Innovative Diagnostics for Infectious Diseases

Focus: To develop and test the accuracy, acceptability, and optimal implementation of point-of-care tests for sexually transmitted diseases in diverse care delivery contexts both in the United States and in resource-limited settings.

Center for Innovation in Point-of-Care Technologies for HIV/AIDS and Emerging Infectious Diseases at Northwestern

Focus: to support the development and facilitate commercialization of a pipeline of point-of-care technologies designed to meet the clinical needs of people at high-risk or living with HIV/AIDS or impacted by emerging infectious diseases in low-resource settings.

Center for Advancing Point of Care in Heart, Lung, Blood, and Sleep Diseases

Focus: To support development and testing of promising “late-stage” point of care technologies that can be rapidly deployed to enhance the diagnosis, monitoring, management and/or treatment of heart, lung, blood and sleep disorders.

Center for Point of Care Technologies for Nutrition, Infection, and Cancer in Global Health at Cornell University

Focus: To support development, deployment, clinical validation, and commercialization of point-of-care technologies for nutrition, infection and cancer for global health in locations where access to better diagnostics can have the largest worldwide impact. We focus on technologies that address the primary needs of the most vulnerable in the US and internationally.

The Center for Innovation and Translation of Point of Care Technologies for Expanded Cancer Care

Focus: To accelerate the development and adoption of new technologies that can be used to improve the early detection of cancer in low-resource settings in the United States and globally.
