Abstract
The 2022 Mpox outbreak in the DRC highlighted the urgent need for rapid, fielddeployable diagnostic tools in resource-limited LMIC settings. A mobile diagnostic setup was evaluated, demonstrating operational readiness within 20 minutes and safe testing within 50 minutes. This approach proved practical for Mpox detection in remote, rural regions.
