Drug-loaded dissolvable microarray patches (MAP) have gained significant attention due to their patient-friendly, economical, and environmentally beneficial attributes. Despite extensive research advancements, only a limited number of MAP progressed clinical trials. While existing literature predominantly covers the initial stages development (e.g., manufacturing techniques, materials, design), there remains notable gap in examining an experimental design during preclinical evaluation phase undertaken inform progression studies. To address this gap, we present comprehensive review factors influencing performance research. Our in-depth analysis skin environment its implications vitro revealed that insertion methodology, media used for release permeation testing, models studies, metabolism are key need be considered. We critically assess current trends propose potential optimisations enhance efficacy biorelevance methods MAP. Additionally, vivo silico performance, underscoring promising approaches.

Abstract Point-of-care testing (POCT) refers to decentralized done using complex but compact, portable devices that can be near the site at patient’s bedside. These enable quick diagnosis and timely intervention because turnaround time (TAT) decreases with these devices. They also operated by non-medical personnel patients minimum expertise as are easy handle interpret. This increases patient awareness regarding their diseases benefits doctors in giving more patient-centered care. POCT require setup utilized even remote places. The present review focuses on employed specifically clinical biochemistry, e.g., glucose, HbA1c, cardiac biomarkers, fertility tests, hematological analysis, electrolytes, enzymes, urine dipstick etc. introductory delves into comprehending fundamentals of technologies, guidelines, applications, advantages, disadvantages. It covers a broad overview tests samples required process tests. compares pros cons over centralized laboratory testing. aims emphasize relevance its use today’s era, current trends urban rural setups, challenges faced field during implementation, potential areas improvement future. However, it is advisable seek references for detailed critical information all specific topics given this article.
