IEEE Special Issue highlighting the insights, lessons learned, and critical components of RADx Tech
A Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADxSM) Tech, a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded program, launched on April 29, 2020 to accelerate the development, validation, and commercialization of innovative point-of-care and home- based tests, as well as improvements to clinical laboratory tests, that can directly detect SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-
RADx Tech was implemented and coordinated by the Consortia for Improving Medicine with Innovation & Technology (CIMIT) in its role as the Coordinating Center for the Point-of-Care Technologies Research Network (POCTRN) in conjunction with the NIH and the four POCTRN Centers.
This Special Section of the IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology focuses on the major interrelated components of this partnership.
