“…Since the limitations of these studies needed to be addressed, significant effort concentrated on solutions such as remote labs to complement the control engineering laboratories and include industrial revolution relevant methods. For instance, an open-source feature with LINX and Arduino board was incorporated to assist in the data acquisition with cost-effective platforms that interact with the actual labs via mobile devices (Ferrari et al, 2017;Andreini et al, 2018;Franca et al, 2021;Hairuddin et al, 2021). Furthermore, IoT enables further development of remote medicine for the on-body monitoring via either consumer wearables (track the health conditions of patients and healthy people) or clinical devices -track and transmit some highly specialised health metrics directly to healthcare organisations and doctors- (Atzori et al, 2010).…”

Viral infections are a significant public health problem, primarily due to their high transmission rate, various pathological manifestations, ranging from mild to severe symptoms and subclinical onset. Laboratory diagnostic tests for infectious diseases, with a short enough turnaround time, are promising tools to improve patient care, antiviral therapeutic decisions, and infection prevention. Numerous microbiological molecular and serological diagnostic testing devices have been developed and authorised as benchtop systems, and only a few as rapid miniaturised, fully automated, portable digital platforms. Their successful implementation in virology relies on their performance and impact on patient management. This review describes the current progress and perspectives in developing micro- and nanotechnology-based solutions for rapidly detecting human viral respiratory infectious diseases. It provides a nonexhaustive overview of currently commercially available and under-study diagnostic testing methods and discusses the sampling and viral genetic trends as preanalytical components influencing the results. We describe the clinical performance of tests, focusing on alternatives such as microfluidics-, biosensors-, Internet-of-Things (IoT)-based devices for rapid and accurate viral loads and immunological responses detection. The conclusions highlight the potential impact of the newly developed devices on laboratory diagnostic and clinical outcomes.
