But You Probably WERE Hoping For The Dip Thing
-
It may initially strike you as funny that, at a TED Talk, a A smartphone app urine test was unveiled. It sounds like you'd have to dip your phone in pee or something. But it's way, way cooler than that: You take a sample, dip a test strip in it, then use the phone's camera to look at the strip and instantly analyze the results for 25 different diseases and conditions. Far from a comic situation, it's something that could not only enable cheap, quick home testing for a wide range of diseases, it could also revolutionize medical care in the Third World. So... cool.
