Wow. Who'd have thunk it? There's an App for that! :)

It seems strange (maybe it's just me) that they have a chip that you connect to smartphone to do this diagnosis without having this in pathology labs already. Seems like pathology labs would be the first place and then it would get rolled out to the doctors 'in the field'.

If it is more accurate than a pathology lab, sure seems like all pathology labs should be using it. At a minimum, at least to see if they come up with the same result.

Still sounds interesting....
