There are currently 224 nations of the world who are listed in the infant mortality rate posted by the CIA World Fact Book. Only 71 of which are under the 10 infant deaths per 1000 live births and Angola who is number 224 experiences 180.21 deaths per every 1000 live births.
Advances in microscopy have made single cell analysis an important approach in both the study of cell signaling pathways and in high content analysis used in drug development. Microfluidic techniques have further enhanced these approaches and there has been an enormous explosion of new assays and techniques developed to exploit the advantages of this approach.
Endoscopes are widely used for diagnosis in human internal organs, but conventional endoscopes can only collect surface information. Thus, biopsy is often needed. Newly-developed endoscopes that employ optical coherence and scanning micromirrors can be used to replace risky, painful and time-consuming biopsy, for bio-imaging applications such as early cancer detection in internal organs,

Introduction, A fast and efficient method to detect dangerous bacteria is a very important need. A bacterial outbreak such as E. coli and salmonella causes illness and even death.
By using a CCD camera, LEDs and a modified face detection algorithm, a low cost and portable device can be built that save hundreds of lives per year.
Portable bidet is a small nozzle that attaches to a plastic bottle and transforms it to a fully functional, personal bidet. The nozzle provides a convenient and time-saving alternative to the exclusive use of toilet paper, cumbersome and expensive bidets, a watering canteen or showering after using the washroom.
