This invention belongs to the field of DNA detection technology, specifically a holographic dynamic analysis system for blood sedimentation assays. Addressing the limitation of existing systems that cannot simultaneously acquire high-dimensional dynamic phenotypic information (such as three-dimensional cell movement trajectories and instantaneous morphology) and corresponding molecular information (such as pathogen DNA and gene characteristics obtained through DNA detection) of the blood sedimentation process, and thus achieve automated correlation and intelligent interpretation between the two, thereby restricting the system's ability to directly infer microscopic etiologies from macroscopic sedimentation phenomena, this invention proposes the following solution. It includes a sample loading module connected to a sedimentation sample pool module. Through holographic dynamic three-dimensional analysis, simultaneous nucleic acid extraction and DNA detection, and multimodal AI fusion, this invention achieves correlation analysis and intelligent diagnosis of the blood sedimentation process from macroscopic dynamics to microscopic molecular mechanisms, significantly improving the system's ability to infer etiologies and support clinical decision-making.
