Would you use a phone that you peed on in order to see if you are HIV positive? Would it even work after you urinated on the phone to test for syphilis?
Apparently researchers in England are asking that question and are developing an ap for the phone that you would actually urinate on the phone or order to see if you have an STD or not. Good grief!
Actually it's a little bit more complicated than that. You actually have a hardware that would attach to your phone to pee on. Here's the inside scoop:
British health officials are hard at work on a new app that will allow users to pee into their cell phones and find out within minutes if they have an STD.
Seriously, we could not make this stuff up if we tried.
According to The Guardian, £4 million have been invested in the UK Clinical Research Collaboration, which is creating a smartphone app that will allow users, "to put urine or saliva on to a computer chip about the size of a USB chip, plug it into their phone or computer and receive a diagnosis within minutes."
