INew Smartphone App inokulinganisa ngokuchanekileyo ukubalwa kwesidoda (Ewe, ufunda oko kunene)

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Kwakudla ngokuba yindoda efuna ukuya kwi-ofisi kagqirha okanye kwiklinikhi yokuzala ukuze kubalwe isidoda sayo kwaye kuhlolwe. Kodwa loo nto sele iza kutshintsha, enkosi kwiqela lophando elikhokelwa nguHadi Shafiee, Ph.D., unjingalwazi oncedisayo kwiSikolo saseHarvard Medical, ovelise isixhobo sokuqonda isifo esisebenzisa i-smartphone kunye neapp.

Ukusebenzisa isixhobo, indoda ilayisha isampulu yesidoda kwi-microchip elahlayo. ' (Inxulumene: Yintoni i-Ob-Gyns enqwenela ukuba abantu basetyhini bazi malunga nokuchuma kwabo)

Xa eqhuba iapp, unikwa imovie yokwenene yesampulu yamadlozi (kuba yikhamera yevidiyo, imicroscope irekhoda yonke loo nto) kunye nesidoda esidada ngaphakathi. I-app inika ulwazi malunga nokubalwa kwedlozi kunye ne-sperm motility, zombini izikhombisi zokuzala. Kungenxa yokuba ewe, yonke le nto ibonakala ilula ngendlela emangalisayo, iqela laseHarvard lithelekise iziphumo ezingaphezu kweesampulu zamadlozi ezingama-350 zamadoda angachumiyo kunye nawachumileyo anazo zombini iiapp kunye nezixhobo zelebhu zonyango ezikhoyo ezikhoyo. Uphando abalupapashileyo Inzululwazi yokuGuqulwa kwezeNzululwazi, ifumene ukuchaneka okumangalisayo kweepesenti ezingama-98 ngesixhobo se-smartphone, apho uShafiee aqinisekisile ukuba izifundo zazivavanywa ukuba zikwazi ukuzisebenzisa kakuhle ekhaya ngaphandle kwemicimbi.

Isinamathiselo sefowuni ngoku siyilelwe ukusetyenziswa nezixhobo ze-Android, kodwa uShafiee kunye neqela lakhe sele basebenza kuhlobo lwe-iPhone. Kwaye kuba kubiza ilebhu i $ 5 nje yokwenza iyunithi nganye, le ndlela yexabiso eliphantsi yokulinganisa ukungachumi inokuba yinto enkulu xa isiza kufikeleleka kwimpilo yoluntu kubo bonke. (Uphononongo lwakutsha nje luqinisekisile ukufikelela kuvavanyo lwexabiso eliphantsi lokukhulelwa kubalulekile ekunciphiseni ukubonakaliswa kotywala kosana olungekazalwa.) Nangona kunjalo, isixhobo kufuneka sivunyiwe yi-FDA, oko kuthetha ukuba ngekhe uzibone eziishelufini zevenkile okwangoku. Ukuba unexhala lokuzala, funa ingcebiso yengcali yezonyango-into ekufuneka isoloko ilinyathelo lakho lokuqala.
