Abstract

To improve the efficiency of current medical practices, more significant data from technology is needed. One lever to optimize medical decision time is to shorten the delay from biological test to results. In the field of fast biological tests, biosensors have received increasing attention and several technologies have been developed to deliver portable, cheap and sensitive analytical systems(1,2). Nevertheless, two main obstacles prevent the marketing of these biosensors: 1) an accurate analysis of the market in terms of real needs for medical practices and 2) perfect matching with current medical recommendations
