There are countless technology/systems that engineers have developed. One of them is a cancer-detecting smartphone app. Below is the photo of the cancer-detecting smartphone app.
Researchers from Washington State University have used prism, ELISA plate to make a smartphone app that would detect cancer. It is said that it could detect cancer with 99% of accuracy.
How it works is really fantastic! There are 96 micro prism array and a 3D printed cradle which holds a phone with a camera. Then, the diagnostician uses the rig to take samples from the patient. Those samples will be put in the assay plate and the light from the camera will be shining the sample through the prism and the diagnostician would use an app to analyze the light from each patient's well in the ELISA plate by its color, and the color of the ELISA would tell the result.
It sounds really cool and I would love to try it too. It is also cool that a smartphone app could be made to help a human's health. I think engineers should devise more ideas that would help human life like what this smartphone app did.
