On this episode of "Halteres Presents", Rich Thayer and Mickey Urdea are chatting about decentralized diagnostic testing with Dr. Donna Wolk, division director of Molecular and Microbial Diagnostics and Development at Geisinger Medical Laboratories. Dr. Wolk helps to put into perspective the market explosion of decentralized diagnostic tests designed for point-of-care, near-patient, at-home, over-the-counter, and pharmacy-based use, and the patient-driven factors to weigh when considering which tests to offer in which decentralized venues.
