“…In fact, the only situational and application-related factor which predicted the intention to self-test was a professional medical expertise of the tested person. Although the most frequently stated advantages of self-testing include the faster diagnostics and higher privacy protection [14], situational and application-related factors such as ‘analysed automatically, and the result is displayed immediately’ did not significantly predict the intention to use a self-test. Additionally, technological affinity predicted the intention to self-test, but when the core concepts of social-cognitive health behaviour theories were added, the impact of technological affinity was incorporated.…”

“…Given the current shortage of physicians in Germany [12], especially in rural areas [13], the need for and use of self-tests could increase in the future. This assumption is furthermore supported by the results of interviews with experts in the development of innovative medical diagnostic devices, who expect a further technological breakthrough of diagnostic devices for end-users in the coming 10 years [14]. …”

BackgroundThe Internet enables an unprecedented opportunity to access a broad range of self-tests (e.g. testing for HIV, cancer, hepatitis B/C), which can be conducted by lay consumers without the help of a health professional. However, there is only little knowledge about the determinants of the use of self-tests. Thus, the aims of this study were (1) to experimentally investigate the impact of situational and application-related characteristics on the intention to use a self-test (ST), compared to being tested by a health professional at home (HPH) or at a doctor’s office (HPD), (2) to examine the applicability of social-cognitive health behaviour theories on self-testing, and (3) to explore the advantages of integrating technological affinity into social-cognitive health behaviour models to predict self-testing.MethodsIn a factorial survey, 1248 vignettes were rated by 208 students. The core concepts of social-cognitive health behaviour theories, technological affinity, and different situational and application-related characteristics were investigated.ResultsIntention to ST was only predicted by the medical expertise of the tested person, while HPH and HPD were also associated with the application purpose of the test and the presence of an emotionally supporting person. Perceived severity and outcome-expectancy significantly predicted intention to self-test. Technological enthusiastic people had a higher intention to use a self-test.ConclusionsIntention to ST, HPH and HPD were predicted by different situational and application-related characteristics. Social-cognitive health behaviour theories can be applied to predict self-testing and do not need to be extended by technological affinity.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12913-017-2394-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Kumar et al (2004) aponta ainda que, outra vantagem é a redução de custos, uma vez que, enquanto um LOC é capaz de agrupar em um dispositivo pequeno diversas etapas de uma análise laboratorial, os laboratórios convencionais ocupam salas inteiras para a realização dessas mesmas análises. Kuecuekbalaban et al (2014) apontam ainda que, de um modo geral, os LOCs no futuro serão capazes de revolucionar o mercado de em referência a análise das propriedades físico-químicas de fluídos, e dentre essas áreas, está a manutenção, com a instrumentação analítica para obter monitoramento de reação de alto rendimento, uma vez que, a análise laboratorial de fluídos hidráulicos e lubrificantes por exemplo, podem se tornar um gargalo na produção devido aos altos custos.…”

Inserting the Industry 4.0 universe into companies is necessary to guarantee their competitiveness and continuity in the market. And, one of the areas in which industry 4.0 and its technologies are most prominent is maintenance, as the use of intelligent mechanisms are capable of promoting the reliability of systems functioning, predicting failures and anticipating problems and breakdowns in equipment. , thus contributing to increased performance and reduced aggregate costs. The present study then starts from the idea of using Lab-on-chip technology for the hydraulic fluid and lubricant monitoring system and aims to verify the application of Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) in maintenance. From the literary review, it was possible to verify that studies relating the use of microsensors for monitoring lubricants are still scarce and from this, applied research was suggested for this purpose, developing a lab-on-chip that be capable of replacing complex and high-cost laboratory analyses.
