The informative-capacity phenomenon of drying drops.

This investigation shows fundamentally good prospects for the information phenomenon of drying drops in medical diagnostics. The advantages of this method include the high information capacity, the rapid result obtainment, the small invasivity, the possibility of use by individuals without special qualification, and the low cost of the device in mass production. These properties create hope that this technology, after widescale clinical tests and the development of a prototype device, can be useful for making a preliminary diagnosis and extracting a risk group for both screening examinations and home use.
