Smartphone system allows for measuring sperm motility at home

An at-home male fetility smartphone system that measures the count and motility of sperm has been developed by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital.

The team created the test allowing men to check the motility of sperm with the automated smartphone system and snap-on parts.

A sample of semen is put onto the disposable area that gets clipped onto the device, similar to a smartphone case. A disposable microchip with a light source measures part of the sample by illuminating it in front of the phone's camera.
