    Arthur Chu Retweeted Naomi Wu 机械妖姬

    Yeah I RTed the other thread initially but I looked at the research about how much using a digital sensor increases accuracy of readings compared to eyeballing in the wild and it's significant Just blithely calling the digital tests "waste" is a bad takehttps://twitter.com/RealSexyCyborg/status/1301786032136835072 …

    Naomi Wu 机械妖姬Verified account @RealSexyCyborg
    Pregnancy tests are 99% accurate in the lab, 75% accurate in the wild due to misreads- mistakes which are highly dependant on education and socioeconomic status. No, it is not stupid or wasteful to use a hardware interface to help women with this. https://archive.is/20081206110632/http://archfami.ama-assn.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=9755740 … https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1301707401024827392 …

        People often have a kneejerk negative reaction to "waste" and don't really think it through Hence we absorbed years and years of complaining about too much single-use plastic packaging and all of a sudden are all getting vividly reminded why we invented it

        But yeah pregnancy tests are really obviously something where there's a reason people want them to be single use instead of a "reader" where you have to take out the test strip, clean the device and replace the strip to reuse it All extra steps where things can go wrong

        I don't actually know what the stats are on how many people who use pregnancy tests are "heavy users" (i.e. people trying to get pregnant every month) vs "one-time users" (people trying NOT to get pregnant having a pregnancy scare)

        But the latter group is a substantial market, and they would have no use for a 50-pack of tests however cheap it was, and even if they're quite poor, $7 for a 2-pack (which is all they really need) is not all that much money In return for peace of mind

        Arthur Chu Retweeted foone

        Yeah so looking this over this is just really thoughtless and condescending The reusable reader has no use case The whole use case of the disposable digital reader is the "terrified teenage girl" scenario or similarhttps://twitter.com/Foone/status/1301741893852696576?s=19 …

        Arthur Chu added,

        foone @Foone
        BTW, one thing that should be said about the argument that this is actually easier to read: You could totally design this in a reusable way to use the cheap test strips. You'd just use them and insert them into the device to have it read them.

        I mean pregnancy tests specifically are not my lane or my area of expertise or whatever But single use disposable shit in general actually does usually exist for a good reason and people tend to constantly use disposability for cheap dunks without thinking it through

        Like if you actually think about it at all telling the average person in desperate need of a pregnancy test at the drugstore that for the same money they could get a reusable reader with a pack of FIFTY pregnancy tests is incredibly fucking stupid

        A digital interface could also use sound to indicate the results of the test
