With the spreading of HIV & syphilis, lakhs of lives have been lost all over the world in recent times. In fact, it takes time to detect the presence of this disease.
A team of expert Bio-medical scientists from Colombia University have created a smart-phone ‘App’ to detect the presence of HIV & Syphilis diseases in 15 minutes.
They have made a ‘Dangle’, which can be linked to the smart phone or computer just like a pen-drive.
Dangle derives its required power from the smartphone or the computer. Hence, this App will be extremely beneficial especially for people from rural areas to detect these diseases and save the patients.
When the thumb is placed on top of the Dangle, it takes blood sample automatically and tests. It gives the results within 15 minutes!
The cost of the present equipment used for this purpose is Rs. 11 Lakhs. However, Dangle costs only Rs. 2116/-.
It is notable that it will require only 10 minutes learning to operate!
