In the old 60s series "Star Trek", Dr. McCoy carried around an electronic hand held device that provided him with medical information, we are now making this come to life in today's smart phones. Apps are coming out that like "Therapist in your pocket", and there is even an app coming out that can test for STDs! This is how it will work: A user would put urine or saliva on a computer chip about the size of a USB chip and then plug it into their phone or computer. And voila, a diagnosis will appear right before their eyes.
