A device for ensuring correct results in joint self-tests, characterized in that this invention, available to each participant and consisting of various
system parts – as well as its logical, physical, and data-related
interconnection – autonomously regulates and controls the procedure of a participating group of people both temporarily and logically, such that the
control unit (SE) of the device informs the group of people around the time of the desired reporting level (M) with infection status (INFQ) (VI), at which time (S) an optionally video-documented self-test (T1, VS) – alternatively (self-)tests with other personal identification – is to be carried out immediately, wherein an included random function (RAN) ensures that this time is not predictable, and in the case of the video-documented self-test, the test stick of the device is marked (K) for identification in the video evaluation.which can also be AI-based, and the swab (TU) has an additive / impregnation with an acid indicator (INDI) so that deliberate
wetting by acidic substances by the
test subject – and the associated discoloration – leads to an invalid test result – and the non-distribution of a reward; and the device determines the sum of all
positive test results (INFM) from the tests (T1), whereby the device then calculates the time interval (INT) after which, in the case of a positive initial test (T1), a second test (T2) must be carried out in order to obtain the reward for the
test subject and their housemates if the test result is again positive and
quarantine (Q1) has been observed, wherein the calculation is reciprocal – for example, with the calculation approach Q1*(1-INFQ / INFM) – and the resulting adaptive shortening of the test interval (INT) is intended to achieve as many justified reward distributions as possible.
