Point-of-care technology is a term used to describe any treatment given at the “site-of-need”. The span of point-of-care has broadened, growing from its current dominant usage in clinical settings to encompass many sectors, such as water and food testing. This review focuses on applications of point-of-care/use technology in phytodiagnostics, a field which requires accurate diagnostic systems with increasing urgency due to the demands of global food needs in conjunction with persistent crop loss due to pathogens and increased awareness of the environmental impacts of extensive agrochemical usage.

播种未来的种子：对现场植物诊断的需求。

即时医疗技术是一个术语，用于描述在“需要的地点”进行的任何治疗。即时医疗服务的范围已经扩大，从其目前在临床环境中的主要用途扩展到涵盖水和食品检测等许多领域。这篇综述着重于即时诊断/使用技术在植物诊断中的应用，该领域需要精确的诊断系统，由于全球粮食需求，以及由于病原体造成的持续农作物损失和对环境意识的不断增强，其紧急性日益增加广泛使用农药的影响。
