Abstract

Constant advances in science, technology, and innovation have favored the development of biomedical sciences, providing them with tools such as computer science and artificial intelligence. In the field of clinical biochemistry, advances are needed to optimize and accelerate timely diagnosis. This article aims to describe the advantages and usefulness of POCT devices for diagnosis in clinical biochemistry. Portable technologies in clinical biochemistry applied to laboratory diagnosis promise to overcome the barriers of conventional techniques (time, infrastructure, cost, sensitivity, and specificity). Their usefulness varies, being applicable in response to pandemics, for the management of chronic diseases, promoting accessibility and equity in health, and improving the efficiency of the system while empowering the patient. Similarly, the possibility of integration into wearable devices and smartphones makes it an accessible and attractive medium. Use cases were identified that demonstrate not only its theoretical usefulness but also its actual capacity for use in practice
