A research team at the University of Basra obtains a patent for a (portable blood testing device) from India A research team at the College of Pharmacy at the University of Basra, consisting of Dr. Falah Hassan Shri, Dr. Gibran Khalil Hassan, Dr. Uday Sajjad, and Dr. Ghassan Salah Ahmed, obtained a patent from the State of India to enable them to manufacture (a portable device for testing diabetes using saliva). The patent included the manufacture of a device for testing sugar using saliva without the need to prick a finger. What distinguishes it is that it does not require test strips or maintaining it at a specific temperature, and the error rate in it is low compared to other blood-based testing devices because it needs specific standards to give accuracy in the results. Such as the quantity of red blood cells, the quality of the test strips used, protecting them from contamination, and other factors. Department of Media and Government Communication
