System and method for audiovisual response to retail diagnostic product
A system and method are provided for presenting self-diagnostic test instructions in the form of audiovisual messages. The system and method include collecting by a user of a testing device a biologic sample for use with a testing device, assigning correlative values as test results, and receiving the test results at a server disposed on a network. Some aspects of the system and method present test instructions to the user in the form of audiovisual messages. The audiovisual messages are provided to the user as a response to an interaction with a retail diagnostic product. In some aspects, the complete audiovisual message is presented before the user may complete a self-diagnostic test.
1. A method of a mobile device for providing an audiovisual response to a retail diagnostic product, the method comprising:
activating a camera on a mobile device;
capturing an image of a product code on a medical testing device;
processing the image of the product code;
transmitting the image of the product code to a remote server disposed on a network;
receiving testing instructions from the remote server, the testing instructions correlated to the product code;
detecting an alignment of an alignment graphic and an alignment target on the medical testing device; and
capturing an image of the medical testing device.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising presenting the testing instructions on the mobile device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the capturing the image of the product code includes aligning the product code with a graphic on a screen of the mobile device.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising presenting on a viewing screen of the mobile device a menu which provides an option to acknowledge an audiovisual message.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting the image of the medical testing device to the remote server; and
receiving a test result from the remote server.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
presenting the test result on a viewing screen of the mobile device.
7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising providing a risk indicator alerting a user to seek medical attention immediately.
8. A system for providing an audiovisual response to a retail diagnostic product, the system comprising:
a testing device having thereon an alignment target and having a plurality of immunoassay test strips, the plurality of immunoassay test strips each including:
a sample pad capable of receiving a biologic sample;
a conjugate pad containing particles for conjugating with antibodies or antigens present in the biologic sample; and
a membrane strip having a test line and a control line, wherein the test line and the control line are viewable; and
a mobile device having a camera, a viewing screen, and a software application stored thereon, wherein the software application provides executable instructions to:
activate a camera on a mobile device;
capture an image of a product code on a medical testing device;
process the image of the product code;
transmit the image of the product code to a remote server disposed on a network; and
receive testing instructions from the remote server, the testing instructions correlated to the product code.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the software application further provides executable instructions to:
present the testing instructions on the mobile device.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the capture of the image of the product code includes aligning the product code with a graphic on a screen of the mobile device.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the software application further provides executable instructions to:
present on the viewing screen of the mobile device a menu which provides an option to acknowledge an audiovisual message.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the software application further provides executable instructions to:
detect an alignment of an alignment graphic and an alignment target on the medical testing device; and
capture an image of the medical testing device.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the software application further provides executable instructions to:
transmit the image of the medical testing device to the remote server; and
receive a test result from the remote server.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the software application further provides executable instructions to:
present the test result on the viewing screen of the mobile device.
15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the software application further provides executable instructions to:
provide a risk indicator alerting a user to seek medical attention immediately.
