Diagnostics, unlike other clinical products, is not an intervention but a decision-aid that guides the use (or nonuse) of an intervention. It is important that the value proposition for any technology-centric innovation in diagnostics include a strong link to a gained efficiency in making a specific decision. Any assay developed without context to the system, users, decision points, and downstream interventions resembles one that is more targeted to the research community, rather than clinical care or public health UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/31081/1/639500.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/31081/1/639500.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/31081/1/639500.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/33215 ER -
