Strengthening the immune system is crucial, but people do not understand their immunity is weak until they get ill. Medical tests for iron, Vitamin D, or inflammation are expensive, time-consuming, and inaccessible to most individuals. That's where this concept comes in.
My concept is a straightforward, paper-based test strip that tests for general markers of immune health from a single drop of blood, urine, or saliva. A strip that detects iron, for instance, turns a clear blue color when deficiency is indicated, providing a quick and cost-effective measure of anemia risk. Potential future iterations would detect Vitamin D, C-reactive protein, or even salivary IgA, allowing immunity monitoring to be speedy and convenient.
Who would benefit?
1. Students and working professionals who want to monitor their well-being.
2. Competitive athletes who must track recovery and nutrition.
3. Rural communities remote from diagnostic laboratories.
4. Physicians and caregivers who desire preventive care at home.
I think this concept personally because immune health is the foundation of everything—from student productivity to immunity against infections in at-risk populations. A small, inexpensive strip can simplify health checks, making them accessible and possibly life-saving.
