The Dhaka Times Desk Everyone has an interest in HIV. The reason is that it is a deadly disease for which the treatment has not yet fully arrived in the world. Moreover, the mode of transmission is also a little unusual. But now there is a simple method to diagnose this deadly disease. This time, HIV will be diagnosed on smartphones!
There was a time when there was so much fear among people about HIV. Even while checking it, I had to read various kinds of ironies. However, scientists are working to overcome these problems. They invented a smartphone for HIV testing.
Through this smartphone, you can check if you are infected with HIV in just 10 seconds. Conventional HIV testing takes at least 72 hours. Henceforth there is no need to follow complicated procedures.
The results obtained through this smartphone will help doctors to find and treat HIV patients. Moreover, it will be possible to stay away from association with HIV patients. The reason is that due to not knowing before, many times the problem happened.
The scientists of England's research team said that the theory based on which HIV test has been made possible can also be used to find viruses like Zika and Ebola.
The whole process is scientifically called 'surface acoustic wave' bychip. It is a biochip made of microelectronic compounds that is basically packed into smartphones. Along with this there is a control box which will inform the result through signal.
A biochip is much like a USB drive; Which will be filled with smartphones. According to the researchers, a spot will be marked on the USB drive stick. Then a very small amount of blood should be poured on it. If there is AIDS virus in the blood or its level increases, then the color of the acid attached to the stick of that device will change completely, some properties of the acid will also change.
It has been reported that a part of the energy generated from the chemical reaction will also be converted into electricity. Due to which electric signal will be generated. Much like an 'electrical spark'. The Spark will display the test results on the smartphone screen via a USB drive stick. The accuracy level of HIV testing in this method is 95 percent.
Researchers have said that if HIV is diagnosed earlier, life expectancy will increase by at least 10 years. Also, there are many benefits for pregnant women in keeping their children safe. If the new system becomes effective, it is expected to greatly benefit millions of people around the world.
