The Podcast by KevinMD · Understanding the unseen role of back-to-school diagnostics · 20 Dec 2025 podcast

Are they available over-the-counter?

Obviously, we have the rapid COVID test, but what about things like influenza and RSV?

So you mentioned earlier about some of the epidemiological implications of rapid testing.

And you mentioned in your article that monitoring school absenteeism rates can predict outbreaks.

So talk more about that.

Now, the government and regulatory authorities like the CDC, they already track things like ER visits and like you said, wastewater diagnostic results.

So tell us the missing piece or the additional puzzle piece that point-of-care diagnostic testing can add to all that data.

Now, can you give us a real-world example of how point-of-care diagnostic testing can inform disease trends?

Just give us a practical example of how that happened in the past.

And what do we have to look forward to?

We've talked about things like COVID, RSV, influenza.

So down the point of care diagnostic test pipeline, what do we have to look forward to?

And how about in terms of costs?

Again, talking with some of the parents who may be listening to this, what can they expect for costs if they were to purchase an over-the-counter point-of-care diagnostic test from, say, a drug dealer?

And in terms of different types of brands, anything that parents should look out for in drugstores, or do they all work in similar ways?

We're talking to Kevin King, healthcare executive.

Today's KevinMD article is how to stay safe from back-to-school illnesses.

Kevin, let's end with some take-home messages that you want to leave with the KevinMD audience.

Kevin, thank you so much for sharing your perspective and insight.

Thanks again for coming on the show.
