Foreign media said that American researchers have found ways to turn ordinary smartphones into a convenient device for on-site detection of HIV and syphilis.

According to Agence France-Presse reported on February 4th, a study led by Columbia University in the United States pointed out that with a $34 accessory, one can detect whether a bloody drop sample contains antibodies to a disease in a matter of minutes, without waiting for hours. . The cost of the above tests is also much lower than the standard diagnostic test.

Scientists say that when the accessory is plugged into the headset interface of a smartphone, it simulates a well-known HIV-tested enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and "effects are almost as good as it is."

The initial study was conducted by 96 Rwandan women. The research report was published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Experts hope that this "on-chip lab" device can be a useful tool, especially in areas with remote or low medical levels.

Samuel West, an associate professor of biomedical engineering who led the research, said: "The combination of microfluidic chips and new developments in consumer electronics will allow almost all smartphone users to accept lab-based applications. Some of the diagnoses. This possibility will change the way the world provides medical services."
