The ITRI's fever chip applies similar principles. Oligonucleotides from 25 of the most common fever-causing pathogens are arranged on the chip, and infection with any of them can be detected from a single drop of a patient's blood, urine or cerebrospinal fluid. The fever chip too is currently in clinical trials at National Taiwan University Hospital.
工研院的發燒晶片運用類似原理，將最常造成發燒的二十五種病菌的寡核甘酸點在晶片上，只要病人感染其中病菌，以一滴血、尿液或脊髓液，就能檢測出來，目前發燒晶片也在台大醫院進行臨床試驗。
