Abstract

A system has a device for capturing biological data from a subject, a machine-readable code associated with the device, an image capturing apparatus with internet connectivity, an image processing unit to interpret the captured biological data, and an internet-connected data repository for storing the interpreted biological data.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
a device for capturing biological data from a subject;
a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a computer program having a program code associated with the device;
an image capturing apparatus with internet connectivity; an image processing unit to interpret the captured biological data; and
an internet-connected data repository for storing the interpreted biological data.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the device for capturing biological data is a diagnostic strip with a biological sample from the subject placed on the diagnostic strip.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the biological sample is mixed with a reactive solution before being placed on the diagnostic strip.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the program code is a QR code.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the image processing unit operates on the internet-connected data repository's server, determining one or both of the nature of the test and a biological condition of the subject.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the server retains the information regarding the tests and test results conducted on the subject in a local or an internet-connected data repository.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the smartphone, after determination, transmits the nature of the test and the biological condition of the subject to the internet-connected data repository's server.

8. The system of claim 4 , wherein the server decodes the information contained in the program code and sends relevant information or instructions to the subject's smartphone based on the decoded information.

9. The system of claim 4 , wherein the smartphone executes the image processing unit, determining the nature of the test and a biological condition of the subject.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the image capture apparatus with internet connectivity is a smartphone.
