New Handheld Device, Q-Poc Detects Cancer, Tuberculosis in 15 Minutes

Late detection in chronic diseases including cancer can mean devastating results. Sometimes, this means it's too late to cure the patient. That's why a London-based company developed a handheld device which can detect cancer and tuberculosis in just 15 minutes.

According to a report by NDTV, a start-up company in London claims to have developed a device which can diagnose cancer, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases through DNA analysis of pathogens called Q-Poc.
