One Size Does Not Fit All: COVID-19 Testing Strategies

Joanna Sickler, Head of Healthcare Systems Policy, Roche Diagnostics

Effective implementation of diagnostic tests requires an understanding of strengths and weaknesses of each technology platform.  Molecular, antigen, point-of-care, home testing and central lab solutions are all needed to meet the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic.  This presentation will focus on the product characteristics of the rapid point-of-care technologies that are available today, strategies for effective use in testing programs and gaps in the current testing landscape.
