STD Test? There's an App for That

Quote:

British health officials are hard at work on a new app that will allow users to pee into their cell phones and find out within minutes if they have an STD.

Actually they clarify it a little farther down

Quote:

According to The Guardian, £4 million have been invested in the UK Clinical Research Collaboration, which is creating a smartphone app that will allow users, "to put urine or saliva on to a computer chip about the size of a USB chip, plug it into their phone or computer and receive a diagnosis within minutes."

Some of the comments are great! |jester|
- Remind me not to borrow a phone from a British person
- Will it also notify all my "contacts" as to what I have?
- The resale value of phones just went to hell.
- that puts a WHOLE new meaning on phone sex

It should make the bar scene rather interesting. |thumb

Beats the hell out of becoming a regular at the free clinic. Wish they had that when I was growing up LOL! You still have to show up to get your antibiotics though, right?

Just when you think they've thought of it all... out comes something so far out there that none of us ever thought of it. hahaha

I've know about the nano lab chips for about a year.

Selling them directly to the public, and being able to plug them into your personal cell phone or computer is suprising though. |crazy|

Smart phones are getting amazing.

Been using this an app to track my heart rate at the gym and it's really accurate as I tested it against what the doctor tracked my heart rate when I was doing a stress test. It uses the camera's LED light to make your finger tip glow and then uses the camera to measures the change in color as your finger gets oxygenated with each heart beat to figure out your heart rate.

Here's a much simpler app.: If you suspect that you might have an STD to the point that you're willing to piss on a USB cable, you probably have an STD. |thumb

Kind of like the old "double condom rule"
... if you even think you might need to put on two condoms, just don't fuck it.

Hey... someone should make a "should I/shouldn't I?" app for that.

:D
