The global problem of diagnosing the hepatitis C viral strain necessitates solutions that are not only extremely precise and sensitive but are also cost-effective, operable in resource- limited settings, and available to a large cohort of consumers. Our innovative idea focuses on developing a cost-effective, portable, and highly accurate point-of-care device for detecting hepatitis viral strains using an integrated colorimetric detection technique. It is designed for resource-limited settings, its automated system enables easy self-testing, making Hepatitis C diagnostics more accessible to the masses.
