Possible solutions for connected POC diagnostics from a South African perspective have been identified, and initial results are presented, utilizing wireless, printable radio-frequency identification (RFID) techniques.enSouth African clinicsPoint-of-care diagnosticsData connectivityPrinted sensorsPaper-based sensorsRadion frequency identificationPoint-of-care diagnosticsConnected, low-cost point-of-care diagnostics for rural South African clinicsConference PresentationSmith, S., Land, K., Korvink, J., & Mager, D.
