In medicine, an early decision on the right course of treatment can make the difference between life and death. Therefore, the rapid availability of test results is crucial. Devices that facilitate medical testing at or near the point of patient care (Point-of-care Testing, POCT) significantly reduce the turn around time. This will become increasingly relevant in modern day diagnosis and therapy. At this point, parallel POCT is available for only few parameters since every single analyte requires a highly specific indicator substance. Infrared spectroscopy enables a marker free, parallel analysis of various medical parameters in one unaltered sample. In combination with multivariate statistical modeling a precise quantitative prediction of the investigated substances can be achieved. The prediction's accuracy and reliability critically depends on the statistical method used to set up the model. Here, initial results of our study on the determination of selected high-content blood ingredients, i.e. alcohol and albumin, will be shown.
