What if women of any age could diagnose multiple infections by one inexpensive test at home?

Due to poor prevention strategies, a lack of at-home affordable rapid tests for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and changes in sexual behavior in the population, alarming rates of STIs such as chlamydia and syphilis are today exploding. Unfortunately, women are the ones who face some of the biggest impacts and most significant consequences of these diseases. We aim to develop a new device, the NanoBioChip, based on a semiconductor microchip, for at-home diagnostics, which offers rapid (within minutes) and low cost (~ $25) detection of multiple (up to 50) STIs/UTIs pathogens, while also ensuring effortless compatibility with Wi-Fi and smart phones.
