Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, “Rapid Point-of-Care Testing Technology and Application (Second Edition)”. Since the first diagnosed case of COVID-19 in 2019, it has continued to present a challenge to the medical and scientific world, necessitating ongoing efforts to understand the disease and specific approaches to it, from early diagnostics and adequate treatments to prophylaxis. Researchers play a significant role in developing solutions that facilitate diagnostic and prevention modalities at the POCT level; therefore, we seek contributions that can help us manage SARS-CoV-2 infections and progress to the next step: active control. In addition, as AI is gathering increasing interest, we will include new papers on AI-based devices for personalised approaches, such as animal-free point-of-care testing (POCT), medical care, and prophylactic medicine, in the era shaped by globalisation and technology.
