Perspective on Diagnostics for Global Health

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: Diagnostic applications for global health have exploded in the past ten years. Numerous articles have been generated on global health priorities, constraints of resource-limited settings, and technological innovations for diagnostics development, including several comprehensive reviews [1]-[3]. In this article, we aim to provide 1) a focused summary of the most highly needed diagnostics, 2) a discussion of noteworthy recent developments of technologies in the field, and 3) a perspective on the evolution, challenges, and future directions of diagnostics for global health applications.
