Cures and vaccines would be great but I feel like we are missing an opportunity with improved testing not just for cancer but also for infectious diseases. Imagine a toilet that can detect a UTI/STI or parasite or a monitor in my room that can detect airborne viral particles which might tell me I have a cold, flu or COVID before I even know about it. Then I know to treat and isolate before spreading it to others.

If we had cheap, instant, accurate tests for infectious diseases then I’d imagine we could begin eradicating some of them.
