In resource-limited settings such as Congo, access to advanced biomedical diagnostic devices is often constrained by financial and logistical challenges. A multidisciplinary approach involving collaboration between engineers, clinicians, and local communities to design and test new diagnostic devices. The newly developed point-of-care diagnostic devices demonstrated an average sensitivity rate of 95% in identifying pathogens compared to traditional methods. These innovations not only improve diagnostic outcomes but also reduce the time required for testing by up to 30%. Further implementation should include training local healthcare workers and establishing sustainable supply chains.
