Orientation

Place diagnostics in the right care context

PolarisDX connects near-patient measurement, diagnostic questions and system integration. The right entry point depends on the specialty, workflow and information needed in each professional context.

Point of care within the workflow

Point-of-care measurements take place close to where care is delivered. Results can therefore be available during the practice workflow and support professional interpretation or discussion. Selection and assessment remain the responsibility of qualified users.

Extended diagnostics and laboratory testing

Depending on the question, further investigations or established laboratory pathways complement near-patient diagnostics. These approaches do not replace one another across the board; the care context, required parameters and professional requirements determine the appropriate path.

In brief: Point of care (POC) describes diagnostic measurements close to the place of care. The term defines the application context, not an automatic medical decision.
