In September 2016, Novartis launched the Niji^TM System and Total IgE Test, a POC diagnostic tool. By using just a droplet or two of finer stick blood, this device delivers Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in a matter of twelve minutes. This test caters to immediate in-office diagnosis of allergies associated with IgE levels. The availability of such tests in the offices of healthcare providers leads to reduced time for consultation, diagnosis, prognosis, and disease treatment. This in turn leads to better patient outcomes.
