Smartphones help men check the quality of their 'seed'

Smartphones can now help men check their sperm, both in quantity and quality.

A publication in the Science Translational Medicine Journal said: Based on a smart device, researched by scientists at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston (USA) and applied on mobile phones, men can accurately determine up to 98% of the number of sperm as well as their mobility, or the number of sperm moving normally.

These are very important factors in determining a man's fertility.

Since this device analyzes itself, it always gives accurate results.

How does it work? The man simply “extracts” a small amount of sperm sample onto a disposable microchip, which then slides into a slot in his smartphone. The phone’s camera then acts as a microscope.

Finally, the app will run a sperm analysis and you will be shown a sample video. “Rest assured, sperm will not get on your phone,” the scientists reassure.

The report said that there are many smart phone devices on the market to test sperm. However, this is the first time that it has been successful in both quantity and quality of the "seed", while also providing more vivid and perfect images; the cost is less expensive than if you go to a specialist clinic.

Researchers are planning to test the device, hoping to get approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)./.
