Scientists are figuring out how to create smartphones that can diagnose diseases, would you get one of these smartphones?

No. I'd like my phones to not know what was going on in my body.

Side note:
You seem to be posting random and somewhat meaningless posts lately, that would be best posted in here.

I agree with centipede. First, it doesn't look like a serious question, and second, what do you think can they do? Just detect that you have cancer by being put to your ear?

Of course not, they said the phone can detect diseases with a drop of blood or saliva on the screen. How is it diagnosed? They didn't say.

You really should post your sources on these things, otherwise nobody will believe you.

Okay, now thats better. It actually doesn't as stupid as I originally thought. But still, I doubt that you can detect all diseases just by the electrical signals on the touchscreen. Especially with 100% certainty. It may be useful, but I wouldn't trust it to replace real medical devices.
