AB  - Point-of-Care Medical Tests Devices and their Value as Educational Projects for Engineering StudentsAbstractPoint of Care Medical Diagnostics devices are portable microfluidics-based systems that test forinfectious diseases in clinical specimens such as blood. They provide fast, easily-interpreted test resultsin a low-cost format and do not require highly skilled operators. This technology is expected to play aprominent role in future healthcare, especially in resource-limited regions of the developing world.We believe point of care diagnostics devices are excellent topics for student projects. The projectsinvolve microfluidics, cell phone applications, image processing, optics, CAD/CAM and rapid prototyping,microcontrollers, sensors, C programming, instrumentation and process control, product development;and give engineering students exposure to important medical and biotechnology applications. Forexample, students have designed, constructed, and validated portable devices to test for viruses inblood samples, using a device that integrates a cellphone as a detector, controller, and communicationsport. This work provides ample opportunities for students to integrate their foundational knowledgeand skills in an increasingly important enabling technology for sustainable healthcare.
