Clinical validation of novel microfluidic-based technologies for detection of Lower Respiratory Tract Infections (HOLICARE Trial)
REFNo: HS3718ES

1. To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Multi- Lateral Flow Test (LFT) using nasopharyngeal swab with visual detection and using a mobile phone as a reader.
To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Multi- Lateral Flow Test (LFT) using nasopharyngeal swab with visual detection and using a mobile phone as a reader.
To validate the clinical performance, sensitivity and specificity of a Point of Care (POC) platform that performs pathogen detection (bacteria, fungi) using microfluidic- Loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) isothermal amplification and quantification of host-response biomarkers using a bead-based immunoassay, by comparing its results to those of reference standard methods:benchtop Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), respectively.
To assess whether the POC-Instrument can be inserted in the patient management procedure to assist clinical decision-making.
(2) To assess the hands-on usability of the POC-Instrument and receive feedback by end-users for future implementation in clinical practice.
