Objective:

To present a novel diagnostic tool for point-of-care testing.

Approach:

• Diagnostic Tool Development: Researchers developed a self-powered paper-based electrochemical device (SPED) that utilizes a triboelectric generator activated by fingertip taps.

Key Findings:

• The device measures various analytes, including glucose and lactic acid, from a fingerprick blood sample.
• Results are provided in under 30 seconds.
• The tool is designed for use in low-resource settings and remote military locations.

Interpretation:

Conclusion:
