7 thoughts on “Microfluidic Point-of-Care Diagnositcs”
I thought your podcast was very interesting and I enjoyed learning about how point-of-care diagnostics work. I agree with what you said and think that if these devices are more readily available, more people can be tested earlier for certain diseases which will increase the effectiveness of their treatment.
In your next podcast, I would suggest talking more about what point-of-care diagnostics are already in use and what they are used for.
You have a lot of good information and clearly you have done good research, but it is a little overwhelming to process all at once. I would suggest explaining what POC devices are to make the rest of the podcast easier for general audiences to grasp and explaining some of the problems further before suggesting solutions. I think you guys did a really good job explaining the diagram. Overall, I really enjoyed the podcast (very clever and pithy closing)!
I enjoyed how your podcast focused mainly not on how the POC diagnostic chips work because that was addressed in class but more on the benefits and societal advantages of the chips. For the most part, I agree with the locked potential that lies in POC chips, it is just a long ways off from achieving full actualization. Nevertheless, great job on the podcast.
All of the topics you discuss are well explained, and you present a substantial amount of information, which I liked. I also liked the musical pieces placed between breaks in the dialogue. However, I thought that the pacing of your voice was somewhat inconsistent: sometimes the speaker would speed up only to slow down mid-sentence. There were also a few moments where the speaker would suddenly start speaking more softly, only to return to the established volume. Overall, I think this was a good podcast.
I enjoyed your podcast as it was succinct and provided a great overview of the importance and drawbacks of microfluidic POC diagnostics. The need for cheaper and more accessible POC diagnostics is extremely important and your podcast truly addresses the need for it. The complex image was easily understood with the labels and the explanation in the podcast. Overall, think you did a wonderful job in concisely explaining the drawbacks, the future and the whole system.
I think your podcast really made the great point of how POC diagnostics need to be more attainable in society. With your explanation of the whole system one can really see how useful it could be if it was truly implemented into every day medical practices. The only suggestion I can make is that maybe you could have mentioned how you think they can make it more cost-friendly or accessible for all. Great work overall though.
After listening to this podcast I definitely expect to see more POC diagnostic products to be sold at pharmacies. You explained the process of design and explained the functionality of these diagnostics very well. Sound quality could have been better, but to be honest I didn’t really have a problem with it. My only question is how expensive these products would be once they first hit the market. Using nanotechnology isn’t cheap so I’m not sure how long it would take for it to actually be commonly purchased as an everyday item. Great job.
