Abstract
Quality life requires disease-free healthy living; however, long-lasting noncommunicable diseases pose a threat to health and human life. Such chronic diseases leave behind biomarkers in various body fluids such as saliva, blood, serum, and urine. The available biomarkers bear disease-specific information and reveal the detail of the disease and its progression. As a preventive measure to ensure good health, early diagnosis of the disease can provide guidance for medical remedy. In addition to that, the diagnostic tools and techniques used must be tailor-made to deliver results rapidly with accuracy and reliability at low cost. The evolution in diagnosis methods along with technological advancement offers better solution in disease management. In this report, we have discussed in detail different types of noncommunicable diseases, the biomarkers associated with them, and diagnostic platform to provide point-of-care diagnosis.
