Feasibility, Preference, and Impact of a Rapid Multiplexed Point-of-Care Digital Innovation (AideSmart!) to Expedite Screening of Sexually Transmitted Blood-Borne Infections in At-Risk Populations in Canada: Cross-Sectional Study
The AideSmart! digital multiplexed rapid screening strategy for health care workers facilitated STBBI testing for multiple STBBIs and arranged for pre- or posttest counseling and rapid linkages with high feasibility and acceptability. Electronic readers enhanced the diagnostic performance of multiplexed biomarker tests. This study generated data in support of digital multiplexed strategies in digitally enabled settings for at-risk populations nationally and worldwide.
