Abstract: Molecular diagnostic technologies are critical diagnostic tools in clinical research. Point-of-care testing (POCT) presents numerous advantages such as portability, rapidity, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness, facilitating timely identification of infection sources and control of infectious disease transmission. This article explores the emerging molecular diagnostic technologies that can be used for POCT, including digital loop-mediated isothermal amplification technology and the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated proteins system, while also discussing their future prospects.
