In the fast-paced world we live in, medical technology is catching up to our rush-rush lives, finally figuring out how to diagnose serious disease in a matter of minutes with a small microchip. And not only is it a boon in the industrial world, it will also revolutionize diagnoses and care in remote and underveloped areas with diseases like HIV and syphilis. A small plastic chip, dubbed the mChip, is about the of your insurance card. It contains ten different detection zones, and only needs a drop of blood to work. Results can be obtained within fifteen minutes. With a projected manufacturing cost of just $1, the card is readable without any additional equipment, although a small handheld reader will be available at a cost in the range of $100.
