Smart paper guessing disease

American experts are trying to design a paper that can detect disease within an hour, based on the paper's discoloration, which works similarly to a pregnancy test.

The American Advanced Defense Projects Research Agency (DARPA) is ordering a device that is tool-free, paper-based and safe to remove after use, to cater to the level of diagnostic needs. speed sickness in the absence of equipment in remote areas.

Collaborating with scientists from Washington University (USA), expert David Moore of GE Global Research and colleagues devised a plan to create disposable 'smart' paper files, with detection Many different pathogens are based on the only test piece taken from the nose.

Smart paper is designed to be no bigger than a deck of cards, and can be diagnosed in less than 60 minutes, according to Market Watch.

The piece of paper will change color and users can use the application on the smartphone to know the status of the infection.

Previously, GE experts invented a device that collects, preserves and stabilizes blood and saliva droplets, DNA and cell samples.
