A COLOR-BASED, DISPOSABLE ANEMIA TEST

The video discusses a rapid and inexpensive anemia testing device suitable for low-resource settings. Anemia, characterized by low hemoglobin levels, affects two billion people globally, with significant numbers in low-resource areas and 83 million at high risk in the U.S. The device is easy to use, affordable, and provides quick results, making it suitable for home use. It uses a small blood sample to determine hemoglobin levels, with results indicated on a color scale. The aim is to make the test widely available, including over-the-counter in the U.S., for under $5.
