Cambridge Healthtech’s Inaugural

Point-of-Care Product Strategies

Understanding Point-of-Care Testing Markets to Launch Successful Products

August 20, 2019

 

The in vitro diagnostics market is highly segmented and rapidly growing. In 2022, the global market is expected to grow to tens of billions of dollars, with one of the largest drivers being the growing point-of-care market. In this rapidly changing market place, how can test developers compete and break into competitive markets? How has the testing landscape changed, and what are the opportunities? At Cambridge Healthtech Institute's Inaugural Point-of-Care Product Strategies attendees will understand and learn how to better overcome challenges that they are facing in bringing point-of-care products to market.
