A new test could help diagnose Urinary Tract Infections in just 25 minutes using a phone camera. Developed by scientists at the University of Bath, the technology identifies E.coli bacteria in UTIs. The new test, scientists claim is faster and cheaper than the current laboratory tests. It works by using a smartphone camera that detects colour changes in urine samples. The future course of action includes clinical trials of the portable test.
