Description: THE PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS TO INVESTIGATE THE POSSIBILITY OF USING LOW-COST PORTABLE ANALYTICAL DEVICES/DEVICES FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF DISEASES IN HEALTH CARE UNITS (POINT OF CARE) THAT DO NOT HAVE A SPECIALIZED LABORATORY INFRASTRUCTURE (E.G. DIAGNOSIS OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION THROUGH DETERMINATION OF TROPONIN LEVEL IN REGIONAL CLINICS IN MOUNTAINOUS OR ISLAND AREAS) AND ON-SITE DRUG SCREENING TESTS FOR FORENSIC APPLICATIONS (E.G. ON DRIVER SALIVA FOR ON-THE-SPOT IDENTIFICATION OF THOSE DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ON DRINKS TO PREVENT DRUG-ASSISTED SEX (DRUG-FACILITATED SEXUAL ASSAULT)). THE PROJECT REFERS TO A BIBLIOGRAPHIC SEARCH OF LOW-COST DEVICES/DEVICES THAT LEAD TO RELIABLE RESULTS, THEIR COST ESTIMATION AND PROPOSALS FOR THEIR IMPLEMENTATION BY STATE AGENCIES (EG REGIONAL CLINICS, HEALTH CENTERS, POLICE).
