  I do research into making well built and reliable paper based Microfluidic point of care testing devices. These devices will be able to measure the level of collagen in your urine to see if your skin or organs are functioning correctly. Another use is to detect cholera in water. Other than physical and testing constraints the sky is the limit in the construction of these devices.
