+Blood Oxygen Monitoring

n  Ongoing improvement

n  From external infrared detector to smartphone integrated camera

n  More convenience leads to persistent monitoring

n  Lower cost ($40 per unit for the current device)

+Diagnosis of infectious diseases - HIV as an example

n  Conventional Method- Laboratory Blood Test

n  ELISA- enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay -  The sample will be add on to a petri dish containing the specific

antigen -  If your blood contains antibodies to the antigen, the two will bind

together. -  This can be checked by adding an enzyme to the petri dish and

observing how your blood and the antigen react.

-  If the contents of the dish change color, you may have the condition. How much change the enzyme causes allows to determine the presence and amount of antibody.

+Diagnosis of infectious diseases - HIV as an example

n  Mobile microfluidic chip

n  Streamlining Blood Testing

n  ~15 mins to get the test result

n  ~30mins to train health care workers for how to use

+Diagnosis of infectious diseases - HIV as an example

n  Much lower manufacturing cost

n  Scaling up HIV testing at the community level with immediate antiretroviral therapy could nearly stop HIV transmission and approach elimination of the virus
