This is great news. 
Too bad its a bit expensive as of now, but since it can detect the disease in mere seconds instead of the technology used now which takes about 30 minutes, the price might be worth while and the results can be shared with anyone in the area or far away since its on a Smartphone.
Apparently, the inventor might come up with such a tool to detect other diseases. 
Do you think its important to be able to diagnose a disease as soon as possible? Do you think that if these tools are costing hundreds of dollars, that it might be available to just about anyone, not only doctors? Would you purchase one?

I had heard about this before or may be I had read about the news In a magazine but I am not sure how this technology works and also the the first thing to be seen is the reliability of such a machine.
And cost is a second factor as technology always get cheaper with time...
Have a nice day pal!

Yes I think it is a wonderful idea that inventions today can and or could detect diseases and or illnesses early. Early detection is always best for cure and or attacking the illness. I am sure the cost will be high at first and if successful it then will be cheaper as that is how technology is in the beginning.
If I was at risk of probable illnesses and or diseases, yes then I think I could benefit from them and do all to get it.

I feel the same, its great now that companies can come up with new technologies to detect diseases faster. Saving lives is whats important. They say its a few hundreds dollars, so not that expensive when you think of the many lives being saved.
