Cellular phone for you when the doctor: body droplet in the touch screen health inspection

In order to wait for a hospital inspection report, less is more than a few hours are spent half month 10 days, such experiences that many people have. In addition to waste time, more torture and psychological fear. If now tell you, you of the cellular phone actually can help you save the tedious process, do you believe that?
Recently, the south Korean scientists touch screen phone based on the basic principle of work, developed a revolutionary technology-as long as saliva or blood and body droplet in the touch screen cellphone, you can test the body health, and diagnose cancer, accuracy and traditional medical instrument can be comparable.
Responsible for the research team from South Korea higher science and technology research institute (KAIST), they said, this is the first time that touch screen mobile phone can be tested found biological macromolecules, if mature technology, people can easily through cell phones in the home of the conventional medical examination, tell the to the hospital the examination time and cost.
"The original inspiration from touch screen principle of work." Participate in the project PiaoXuanGui professor explanation says, "touch screen is through the perception of time to release the fingers charge of the job, larger proteins and DNA will also carry specific charge, so also through the principle of recognition."
At present, through the experiment, this team has confirmed that touch screen can test sample of DNA molecular exists, and their concentration. "DNA experiment results and the traditional chemical test instruments results perfectly and accuracy can reach one hundred percent believe almost. Soon, protein can also through the same way inspection." PiaoXuanGui said. "in addition, early diagnosis of liver cancer has been recognized as one of the medical problem, but we found that liver cancer patients will carry a special kind of protein, if the technology development mature, touch screen will also be used in cancer diagnosis."
However, the touch screen technology can't identify biological macromolecules species. PiaoXuanGui revealed that they are still in the study another to carry a reaction material microfilm, this film can be used to identify specific biological chemical substances, hope that the research in the future can be used to assist "mobile phone the doctor" for "diagnosis".
"In addition, we also research in a test for the inspection of acquisition, the body fluid samples, the article inspection in the future may be to expand the accessories form into electronic equipment, because after all, few people would like to blood or urine drops in touch screen." PiaoXuanGui added, "although, touch screen can identify biological macromolecular substances, this is only the first step in the study, however, we have reason to believe that the technology will eventually replace tedious process test."
Unfortunately, about the specific study progress and when details such as a way, at present is unknown, but it certainly is, human beings have can't stop intelligent cellphone!
