People place urine(尿) or saliva(唾液)on a small piece of test paper.They place the test paper in a small device that contains a computer chip.Then they place the device in their mobile phone for testing.
Within minutes, they receive information telling them if they have a sexual disease.And they receive advice on what to do next.
Claudia Estcourt is with Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry.She is also part of the research team working on the project.
CLAUDIA ESTCOURT:“This isn’t designed to replace traditional clinics.This is really opening testing up to people who might find it embarrassing or difficult to get into their clinic.And this might be a much quicker,easier choice for them—that they can be sure to get very accurate results.”
Health experts say many young people are too ashamed to visit a clinic to be tested.This increases the risk of them passing on sexual diseases.The researchers hope the tests will help persuade people to be tested and reduce the number of sexually transmitted infections.
Dr.Estcourt says the project is still seven to ten years away from completion.But she says it holds great promise for the future.
CLAUDIA ESTCOURT:“Clearly,this new technology can be used in developing countries: maybe for testing HIV,maybe for testing tuberculosis(肺结核),or perhaps even malaria(疟疾).”
