Preface
Together with physical assessment of signs and symptoms, testing before treatment is a prerequisite step for the diagnosis of diseases at a much earlier stage. Point-ofcare (POC) testing tools (POCT) play a prominent role in healthcare to provide test results at or near the bedside within a couple minutes to a few hours with high sensitivity and selectivity. Consequently, healthcare professionals can start the treatment of their patients and take appropriate clinical decisions based on the POCT results, leading to better health outcomes and significant cost savings. The POCT market expands rapidly with a forecasting value of US$35 billion in 2024 (https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/point-of-care-testing-poct-market-isexpected-to-be-worth-us-35-billion-by-2024-2018-06-06). Variants of emerging POC technologies are further pushing the limits of POCT by enabling rapid test
