STD Test? There's an App for That

[tickler]

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

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!
- 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.
