Imagine a condom that can signal a possible infection on its own.
And this is no longer just something from a science fiction movie. đ
Students from the United Kingdom introduced the concept of S.T.EYE - a condom that could potentially change color when it comes into contact with markers of sexually transmitted infections.
How it is designed to work:
when it comes into contact with certain bacteria or viruses,
the material reacts → changes color → signals the possible presence of an infection.
đ The idea is based on real biosensor technologies.
Modern medicine already uses materials that can respond to pathogens or changes in the chemical environment.
