SMi are proud to present their 9^th annual Point of Care Diagnostics: Market Opportunities and Technology Trends24^t^h and 25^th of October, 2012. conference, scheduled for the

With point of care constantly at the forefront of the biotechnology and healthcare markets, the need for up to date information on both the emerging technologies, and the market opportunities is paramount. Rapid testing in all areas of healthcare, from primary care to the emergency services is becoming increasingly expected, and successful point of care technology can revolutionise our ability to create this fast, personalised medicine. Challenges still remain, however, about the logistics of companion diagnostics, the legitimacy of patient independence and the redistribution of profit within the healthcare technology sector.

The ultimate question of whether we can create a treatment specific for a patient, rather than a disease necessitates an ability to communicate with key opinion leaders, successful companies and academic leaders within the field, and conferences such as this are an integral part of that process.
