Just pee into your phoneFollow

Sure some do, but the safety net is going to catch more than it promotes - ultimately a net gain in curbing the spread of a disease. Besides, it's just some manly fantasy that something like an std test is gonna make women easier to get a lay out of.

I hadn't considered that. I guess being removed from the realm of finding random loose women has dulled my skills in avoiding **** plague.

Sounds like an excuse.

Guy, "she wouldn't take her panties off for me because I wouldn't pee on her phone".

Other Guy, "yeah, sure".

Hahahahaha

In fairness, a solution is better sex ed. The only fool-proof solution is quit f'ucking. That could prove problematic for survival of the species, though.

If they use a cellphone you have to assume some level of cognition. I bet the test tells, probably both on a written direction sheet and verbally within your iphone app, just what the test tells you or doesn't, what it's limitations are, etc, etc

I mean we can always assume all people know absolutely nothing and are incapable of making the most rudimentary decisions about their lives. Therefore we give them no tools or no knowledge...because you know...they might just misuse the info to try and get laid.

Have you seen some of the apps for the iphone? No cognition required.

Wouldn't "Canned Tuna with Mayo" be for eating whilst away from your fridge and its copious supplies of mayonnaise? And I assume the can has a flip tab.

I heard this on the radio a few days ago, my only question is, did they not think of creating the same invention as not part of the phone?

How else are they supposed to secretly transmit your test results to a national STI database?

Not really. Presumably, such a test device wont work for repeated uses (or will have some limited number of uses). Thus, the reactive component (the part that interacts with the pee chemically and generates readable results) would ideally need to be something cheap and replaceable. You'd want the part that reads that data and calculates results separate. Now, you could make a separate device for that part, or you could design the disposable part to be something you can just plug into an existing device (like a phone) and then run a software app to read results. That's vastly more cost effective since most people already have a phone capable of running the app and most also have some form of input port which can be connected to.

Also, don't lose sight of the fact that this is development coming from the smart phone side, not the other way around. The push is to create more uses for a phone, not to find a better way to test for STIs.

You were doing so well up to this point.

I'm working with a wide range of medics and 'ologists' who are looking for developers for apps and devices to meet their needs.

Hehehee... Sorry. That's just funny is all. Want to take a wild guess as to how long ago phone chipset developers pinned some of their new designs on the idea that "Someday, maybe the medical industry could find use for phones which could communicate to remote devices that can do things like monitor health in real time, test blood sugar levels for diabetics, and maybe run any of a number of other sorts of tests. Let's see if we can create a market for this!". I guess the old saying "if you build it, they will come" must be true...
