The POCT connectivity field guide.
Plain-English explainers on the standards, systems and quality practices behind connected point-of-care testing (POCT). Written by the people who build the integrations.
Foundations
What is POCT connectivity?
Why point-of-care results so often get stranded — and what a connectivity layer actually does about it.
FoundationsWhat is POCT middleware?
The category, explained — what sits between your analysers and your records, and what it should be doing for you.
FoundationsComparing POCT middleware
A factual framework for weighing platforms — deployment model, protocol coverage, quality workflows and data residency.
Buying guideStandards & quality
HL7 vs POCT-1A vs ASTM
The three protocols that move diagnostic results, what each is for, and how to tell which your analyser speaks.
StandardsISO 15189 and POCT
What the medical-laboratory quality standard asks of point-of-care testing — and where connected data carries the evidence.
ComplianceLevey-Jennings & Westgard rules
The statistics behind QC monitoring — how control charts and multi-rule criteria make drift and outliers visible.
QualityReference
The cost of disconnected POCT
Building the business case — where transcription, paper-chasing and re-keying quietly consume staff time.
OperationsThe POCT & connectivity glossary
From accession number to Westgard rules — the vocabulary of connected point-of-care testing, defined.
GlossaryThe Catenix API
A developer-facing overview of integrating with the platform programmatically.
