Problems solved by technology

For example, where a large number of people are to be tested by a large number of assay devices, the important issue is that the corresponding large number of test results are sufficiently reliable to determine who is likely to have the particular condition (such as a particular disease or physiological condition) being tested

Embodiment Construction

[0048] In the present application, similar or corresponding features are indicated by similar or corresponding reference signs.

[0049] Twenty-eight million people in the United States, or 7 percent of the population, have diabetes. Although approximately 14.6 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes, 6.2 million people (or almost a third) do not know they have the disease.

[0050] Currently, to determine whether a person has pre-diabetes or diabetes, healthcare providers perform a fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) or an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Either test can be used to diagnose prediabetes or diabetes.

[0051] People can get tested at home without having to go to a health care provider. For example, a person could place a blood sample on a device capable of performing a blood sugar test.

[0052] For many medical measurement protocols, it is necessary to perform a series of measurements, not just one A measurement scheme in which a considerable amo...

Abstract

A disposable assay device (1), configured to assay one or more samples, and configured for transmitting assay data or information to a remote receiving system (30), wherein the device is provided with one or more assay context sensors configured to monitor one or more assay context factors. In this way, assay results can be made more reliable in a relatively simple manner.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a disposable assay device configured to assay one or more samples and configured to transmit assay data or information to a remote receiving system. Background technique [0002] International Patent Application WO 95 / 33996 by Zwanziger et al. discloses a home test kit for testing for diseases or physiological conditions with telephone verification of test results. This known home test kit facilitates the delivery of any necessary consultation as a result of the test. During use, an individual can obtain a sample of physiological fluid from himself or herself. A sample can be introduced to an assay device to generate a coded pattern indicative of the presence or absence of disease. An individual can send the coded pattern to a remote location for interpretation, for example by telephone. The individual can then receive an interpretation of the coding pattern and any counseling that appears appropriate from the perspe...
