Proteus Portable 88 -

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately 50% of the global population lacks access to essential health services, resulting in significant health disparities. Point-of-care (POC) diagnostic systems have the potential to bridge this gap by providing rapid, accurate, and decentralized diagnostic testing. However, existing commercial systems are often hindered by their large size, high cost, and requirement for extensive technical expertise. To address these limitations, we aimed to design and develop a portable, low-cost, and user-friendly POC diagnostic system, dubbed Proteus Portable 88.
