The method is still in its testing phase but looks promising, according to researchers
that they had developed a new COVID-19 testing system that would only require a phone, an app, and some lab equipment. The testing system would cost less than $100, and every test should cost around $7.
It should be noted that the new test was used on only 50 patients, and it currently works only with Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphones due to the phone's specific camera calibrations. But in the future, the new technology is expected to support other phones as well. Although the technology is still under testing and is far from being released, the researchers say that this innovation is promising.
