Point‐of‐Care Diagnostics Enter the Mouth

Abstract:  In this succinct review, I delineate a case supporting point‐of‐care (POC) diagnostics to provide a brief outline of why oral fluid/saliva–based POC offer several advantages over more traditional blood‐based tests and conclude with a focused overview of the ethical, legal, and social implications of more widespread access to oral fluid/saliva–based POC diagnostics.
