The development of a novel device to aid in capillary macro blood self-sampling via an iterative study design

This study highlights the value of an iterative study-design, in the early stages of device development. The C2K device will facilitate capillary fingerprick macro-bloodsampling. By shifting routine blood sampling to decentralized settings, the C2K device may have the potential to enhance access to diagnostics, reduce healthcare burdens, and support public health efforts in both high- and low-resource settings.
