Remote Data Transmission for Delocalized Biological Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Delocalized biological and biochemical analyses face reliability issues due to the lack of laboratory control, leading to potential errors in data collection and interpretation outside controlled environments.
Innovation Solution
A method for transmitting data from delocalized analyses, including pre-analytical and analytical phases, using video or audio recordings, geolocation, local conditions, and identification elements, ensuring traceability and validation by a biologist or biochemist through dematerialized data transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If delocalized analysis is performed outside laboratory, then accessibility and speed of analysis are improved, but reliability and control of analysis are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses video recording to create a copy of the pre-analytical phase implementation. This visual record can be reviewed by a biologist to verify proper technique without requiring the biologist to be physically present during the analysis, thus maintaining reliability while enabling delocalized fast analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification system where video recordings and automated data serve as intermediaries between the delocalized analysis operator and the remote biologist. This intermediary mechanism allows the biologist to control and validate the analysis remotely, resolving the contradiction between speed and reliability.
2Ease of operation
If delocalized analysis is performed outside laboratory, then cost and accessibility are improved, but control and validation by biologist are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of direct biologist oversight (physical presence in laboratory) with an automated data collection and transmission system. Sensors, video cameras, and communication systems automatically capture and transmit analysis data, eliminating the need for complex manual control procedures while maintaining validation capability.
3Reliability
If multiple data parameters are collected for traceability, then reliability and validation are improved, but data transmission complexity and time are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary data processing and packaging during the analysis itself. All relevant parameters (video recordings, sensor data, identification information) are captured and organized in real-time during the pre-analytical and analytical phases, so that when transmission is needed, the data is already prepared and ready for immediate upload, minimizing transmission time.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a method (1) for transmitting biological or biochemical analysis data, for example point-of-care testing, said analysis comprising a pre-analytic phase and an analytic phase. Said method includes: a step (2) for acquiring implementation of the pre-analytic phase such as to obtain a recording, preferably video; a step (3) for acquiring the result obtained during the implementation of the analytic phase; and a transmission step (5) for intangibly transmitting the video recording and the result. The invention also relates to a method for carrying out point-of-care testing, which includes implementing the data transmission method described above as well as using a device for recording, preferably video and possibly photos, and for transmitting intangible data such as to implement the data transmission method described above.
