When I go to the hospital, I am most worried about the days when I wait for the results of the inspection. After seeing the doctor and doing a complicated check, the nurse girl just told you to take the medical report in a few days. Therefore, these days, I hope that the results will come out quickly and show that there is no serious illness. At the same time, I am worried that I will be afraid of getting an incurable disease and I don’t want to face the inspection report.

Don't be too frustrated, the tormenting process will become very short in the future, and you don't have to risk being bleeding from the internship nurses. According to Science Daily, researchers at Columbia University have recently developed a test instrument that can be connected to a smartphone. The user simply presses the button on the instrument and the needle on the button draws the user's blood sample for medical analysis. After 15 minutes, the results will be checked.

However, the current instrument is only for the detection of AIDS and syphilis. The instrument is capable of detecting whether a patient has been infected with HIV or syphilis using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The research team said that the use of the instrument with a smartphone will greatly reduce the diagnostic process and detection costs.

The researchers used a new test instrument to perform a virus test on 96 patients. The results showed that the device's detection accuracy for HIV and syphilis was between 92% and 100%. The specific research report was published in Science Translational Medicine. According to Samuel K. Sia, the research project is responsible for the “full laboratory quality”.

Samuel K. Sia said in an interview with Bloomberg that they also applied the technique to the physical examination of pregnant women. Sia said that testing pregnant women in this area can detect whether a pregnant woman has an infectious disease in time, thus preventing the mother from transmitting the virus to the baby or causing the "fetal death."

In addition, the research team also pointed out that patients participating in the experiment are also more welcome to detect this condition. Compared with the traditional physical examination method, the new instrument is only tape-sized, which is convenient to carry and the result is fast.

Although the current study at Columbia University is only applicable to the detection of HIV and syphilis, it has a more pronounced effect on the remote areas of Africa where AIDS is prevalent. But the researchers' expectations are much more than that, Samuel K. Sia said:

Our research shows that small detectors connected to smartphones for virus detection can achieve the same effect as testing in the laboratory. In view of the continuous emergence of consumer-grade health monitoring devices, this detection method may be applied to more regions and more in the future. In the detection of diseases.
