Researchers insert the molecules used for general testing samples to any smart phone compatible devices, light on the sample, diffraction patterns can be detected through the phone's camera. According to the mode of image formed by different, you can assess the risk of disease. Is enlarged to the computer, and then reconstruct the image of a cell. The image diagnosis and it was sent back to the phone, the whole process cost $ 1.8, took 45 minutes. Prada iPhone

Of course, this mobile diagnostic method is not new, for example install a device called Peek on mobile phones will be able to diagnose eye diseases.

For this type of equipment is the most likely to benefit people in low-income countries. Future updates for this device, allows people at home from the diffraction pattern of the blood of pricked fingers to complete its own diagnosis. Users will get an image and diagnosis, they can send these to their doctors.
