They are hoping that in two years this device may be available. Nothing was said about efficacy. Interesting. Hope it pans out. http://sync.sympatico.ca/news/new_device_will_detect_infections_cancer_in_minutes/7d5e3b80#.TyLSUxWxozU.mailto

Thanks for posting this. It does seem very interesting. That it is in trial at a university hospital is very encouraging.
I didn't catch what company is doing the chip fabrication, but I did notice from the video that the software developer appears to Sagenic, a company based in South Africa.
It also appears to use an off-the-shelf Android smart phone for the display, which suggests that the analysis unit could be easily connected to other smart phone platforms.
