Key Points

To assess how merging point-of-care diagnostic devices with the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) overcomes turnaround delays associated with standard COVID-19 laboratory testing.
Evaluated standard clinical diagnostic workflows centered on reverse real-time PCR (rRT-PCR) assays requiring multi-hour processing times.
Analyzed the integration of decentralized point-of-care diagnostic platforms with wireless IoMT communication architectures.
Standardized centralized rRT-PCR assays generate operational bottlenecks due to four-to-six-hour processing requirements and specialized laboratory infrastructure dependencies.
Decentralized testing combined with IoMT frameworks accelerates clinical data delivery, supporting rapid contact tracing and immediate infection management.
