Even the cat in your pic is smarter than that. And I'm guessing you're typing on glass - no caps or punctuation.

I thought we were supposed to pee on the phone when i first read the headline!
"Is a pain on your lower abdomen hurting you?
Do you feel the need to pee everytime?
Do you need to quick check your urine?
Then here's a new app here for you.
Don't worry, just pee and you'll see"

Ah - we finally have a use for this thing called "iPhone". To be pissed on by sick people.

Can't wait for iPhone-proof fecal checks.

is it just me or the video has absoluetly nothing to do with the article ? The video doesnt mention anything about the strips to pee on, its about anemia !

Pissing directly on your phone should solve the problem. I guess the phone should be piss and water proof.

About a year ago, I read an article about capacitive touch screens and how they are sensitive enough to analyse saliva samples. You can spit on your touch screen and an app can theoretically analyse it for illnesses. When I saw the headline, I though it would do the same for urine samples. Then, I read the article.

not expensive , you may go to an online retailer ( amazon ) and look for urine test strips and there are plenty very ship
