Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Providing an ID-verified blood test, in one aspect, may include enabling a user to press a finger against a fingerprint-reading panel and reading a fingerprint of the user. A blood sampling device coupled to the fingerprint-reading panel may be activated while the user has the finger against the fingerprint-reading panel to sample blood from the finger. Blood may be sampled from the user via the blood sampling device while the user has the finger against the fingerprint-reading panel. A test may be performed on the sampled blood to determine a level of specified chemical in the blood. User identification may be determined based on the fingerprint. The determined user identification and the level of the specified chemical may be returned.
