Mobile phone kits to diagnose STD s
UK - Mobile phone kits to diagnose STD s
Soon your mobile will be able to diagnose weather or not you have an STD. Doctors and technology experts in the UK say there will soon be a kit, similar to a pregnancy test kit that will interface with your mobile or laptop to tell you weather or not you have an STD.
Herpes, Gonorrhea and Chlamydia are on the rise in the UK, and it is hoped the new kit which will be about the size of a usb flash drive will help reduce the rate of infection by allowing users to place a saliva or urine sample onto a test strip, plug it into their phone, laptop or PC and receive a diagnosis within minutes.
The 4 million dollar project will even be able to tell you where to go to get treatment.
