Advancing Early Detection of Urinary Tract Infection in People Living with Dementia
The identification of urinary biomarkers and the development of a PoC device offer promising avenues for improving UTI diagnosis in PLWD. Reliable early detection could reduce hospital admissions, prevent severe complications and improve overall outcomes for this vulnerable population. Future work will focus on refining biomarker analyses and optimising the PoC design to enhance its diagnostic accuracy and usability.
