Worried about what else your internet date lied about? There is an app for that. British health officials are hard at work on a new app that will allow users to pee into their cell phone and find out if you have an STV. You heard right, you pee on the cell phone. Question is who could aim well enough to pee into a cell phone. Well, according to the Guardian, a British newspaper, the UK clinical research collaboration is creating a smart phone app that will allow users to “put urine or saliva onto a computer chip about the size of a USB chip, plug it into their phone or computer and receive a diagnosis within minutes.” This is aimed to young Brits who are techno-savvy but too embarrassed to visit a doctor or a clinic. Apparently they are not too embarrassed to have an odd smelling cell phone. The app will even map out directions to the nearest clinic upon a positive test, and provide a Facebook link, giving you opportunity to accidentally update your status.
