Yes the touchscreen of a phone that some people just carelessly pass around is just a brilliant idea for a blood testing device. There is no way that any pathogens could be spread right?

"Patients would just have to place a highly-engineered plastic layer on top of the smartphone’s screen, and place a drop of blood on the film which will interact with a special molecule to initiate coagulation."

It seems I somehow overlooked that portion right there... though I still think it is better to just go with a traditional visit as that could detect other problems early rather than being sensitive to just this one problem.

Sign me up. I want to have the knowledge of playing a guitar like a rock star. Implanted in my brain. Or better yet 4 years of college transferred to my brain.

I'm with you on the guitar, and I'd like to learn Japanese so I can relocate to Japan... GinJoeKnee lol

annoyedgamer2039d ago

So can I upload the info for my next exam?

Give me full knowledge of the IMDB database. Never again will I be wrong in the "who was that actor in that movie" debate!

FlyingFoxy2038d ago

Pass on that, can't trust the scores on IMDB since everyone has different taste in films

BlackDoomAx2038d ago

I'll wait for the download one. Better have some memories erased. My brain is full, I need more space in it.
