(Web Desk) – Invention has been one of the most innovative things that have put the world at ease but not everyone has been able to get their hand on every invention. In this inflated world there is little economical and simplest form of inventions that has given the impoverished society a sigh of relief.
Oral rehydration therapy (ORT): It is a type of fluid replacement used to prevent and treat dehydration, especially that due to diarrhea. It involves drinking water with modest amounts of sugar and salts, specifically sodium and potassium. Oral rehydration therapy can also be given by a nasogastric tube.
Water filters: Clean water has been one of the major problems in this world. Impure water has led to various dangerous problems to mankind. Water filter has been one of the most helpful inventions that has provided pure water to many households reducing the hazardous effect of the water in daily life
Jet injector: A jet injector is a type of medical injecting syringe that uses a high-pressure narrow jet of the injection liquid instead of a hypodermic needle to penetrate the epidermis. Jet injectors were used for mass vaccination, and as an alternative to needle syringes for diabetics to inject insulin. As well as health uses, similar devices are used in other industries to inject grease or other fluid.
Foldscope: It is an optical microscope that can be assembled from simple components, including a sheet of paper and a lens. It was developed by Manu Prakash and designed to cost less than US$1 to build. It is part of the "frugal science" movement which aims to make cheap and easy tools available for scientific use in the developing world.
Rapid diagnostic test: Malaria remains a major global health burden, and new methods for low-cost, high-sensitivity, diagnosis are essential, particularly in remote areas with low-resource around the world. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have become widely used throughout the world and offer a cheaper and less time consuming alternative for diagnosis of malaria using a finger-prick of blood. The current sensitivity threshold for RDT tests is greater than 100 parasites of blood.
These are simple and easy-to-use inventions which are helping to put world at ease.
