Point-of-Care (PoC) Diagnostics and Home Kits
Medical supplies in 2026 are increasingly being delivered directly to the patient's home. The rise of "Virtual Hospitals" has created a massive market for high-fidelity, over-the-counter (OTC) diagnostic kits that were once only available in labs.
These kits now include "combo" tests for Flu, COVID-19, and RSV, as well as smartphone-integrated molecular tests for cardiac markers and kidney function. These supplies allow for "decentralized care," where patients can conduct clinical-grade testing at home and upload the results to their doctor in seconds, preventing unnecessary hospital visits and reducing the burden on physical facilities.
