How do I check my blood group with my phone?

Published in Blood Testing 2 mins read

You can check your blood group using a phone with the help of a specialized device, like the HemoGo app described in the reference. Here’s how it generally works:

Steps to Check Blood Group with a Phone:

  1. Blood Sample Collection: You will need to collect a small blood sample, typically using a finger prick.
  2. Microfluid Test Strip: Apply the collected blood sample onto a microfluid test strip designed for this purpose.
  3. Phone Case Attachment: Insert the test strip into a phone case attachment that is part of the blood testing device.
  4. Results via App: The device analyzes the blood sample and provides the blood group results to you, usually within 30 seconds, through an app on your phone.

Device Example: HemoGo App

  • As shown in the reference from the YouTube video titled "HemoGo App Makes Blood Testing Easy," a device like this involves a micro fluid test strip into which a blood sample is placed.
  • This test strip is then inserted into a phone case attachment that performs the blood analysis.
  • The results are then sent to the patient's phone via an app, typically within a short period, like 30 seconds.

Important Considerations

  • These devices and apps may be available to medical professionals and may not be available for home use.
  • Always ensure the device and app you use are certified, approved, and from a reputable source.
  • The accuracy of such tests can vary, so it's important to consult a healthcare professional for confirmation if necessary.
