Medical Breakthrough....?

I just now watched a CBC exclusive on a "medical breakthrough" regarding a UofT research group completing a bit of technology that will conclusively inform you of any and all diseases you have, including cancer, from a single cotton swab, in 15 minutes.

I can't find it online. When or if you do, please share.

New device will detect infections, cancer in minutes

Toronto's medical community is buzzing about an invention that could change the way health professionals screen for infectious disease and cancer.

"We've been working on this, really, for about a decade," said Dr. Shana Kelley, a scientist at the University of Toronto.

Kelley spoke as she held a small black device her hand, shaped like a smartphone but bulkier, with a microchip inside that Kelley says can determine in 15 minutes if you have cancer or an infectious disease.

This is really a good news, the futurist Alvin Toffler predicted some of these break through,.

Daadi, of course this was only a matter of time. Though, I couldn't help but utter "this must be fake" when watching the piece on tv.

actually we r lazy but we cant invent these things, in theory i knew there should be an Iphone not necessarily same name but similar but i never tried. Toffler wrote number of good futurist books, i remember one of the books he predicted a toothbrush when used will tell u ur blood pressure and glucose level,

Slightly on topic:

I also got a glimpse of this story, where a man's heart was healed by his own stem cells found in bone marrow. Brilliance.

It is really good, if only qaxooti kids could learn these techniques.
