Prototype taps into the sensing capabilities of any smartphone to screen for prediabetes
by Kristin Osborne, University of Washington Researchers at the University of Washington have developed GlucoScreen, a system that could enable people to self-screen for prediabetes. It uses a modified version of a commercially available test strip (white rectangle on the right) with any smartphone—no separate glucometer required. Leveraging the phone’s built-in capacitive touch sensing capabilities, GlucoScreen transmits...
