Clinical diagnosis requiring a central facility and site visits can be
burdensome for patients in resource-limited or rural areas. Therefore,
development of a low-cost microfluidic chip that utilizes smartphone
data collection and transmission would beneficially enable disease
self-management and point-of-care diagnosis. We demonstrated 3D
simulation-guided printing for fabricating micro-, millifluidic mixers,
which allows rapid study and testing of various geometries in
lab-on-a-chip devices. Combined with smartphone, a 3D printed
microfluidic mixer for auto-mixing of reagents via capillary force has
been implemented, for measuring hemoglobin levels in finger-prick blood.
Self-diagnosis of anemia has been successfully demonstrated using
smartphone detection, showing consistent results with clinical
measurements. Capable of 3D fabrication flexibility and smartphone
compatibility, this work presents a novel diagnostic strategy for
advancing personalized medicine and disease management.
