Abstract

Systems and methods for providing a universal platform for at-home health testing and diagnostics are provided herein. In particular, a health testing and diagnostic platform is provided to connect medical providers with patients and to generate a unique, private testing environment. In some embodiments, the testing environment may facilitate administration of a medical test to a patient with the guidance of a proctor. In some embodiments, the patient may be provided with step-by-step instructions for test administration by the proctor within a testing environment. The platform may display unique, dynamic testing interfaces to the patient and proctor to ensure proper testing protocols and accurate test result verification.

Claims (30)

1. A computer-implemented system for a proctored examination platform, the computer-implemented system comprising:

an electronic storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions;

one or more processors in electronic communication with the electronic storage medium and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive first image data from a first imaging device of a user device, the first imaging device comprising a forward facing camera of the user device, and the first imaging data comprising at least an image of a user;

receive second image data from a second imaging device of the user device, the second imaging device comprising a rearward facing camera of the user device, and the second imaging data comprising an image of a test kit for a medical diagnostic test;

during a medical diagnostic testing procedure, automatically cause one of the first image data and the second image data to be displayed on a display of the user device, wherein the one of the first image data and the second image data is selected based on a current step of the medical diagnostic testing procedure;

generate augmented reality (AR) content data associated with the current step of the medical diagnostic test, wherein the AR content data is configured to facilitate performance of the current step; and

cause the AR content data to be overlaid onto the displayed one of the first image data and the second image data.

2. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors further cause the one of the first image data and the second image data to be displayed on a display of a proctor device, whereby a proctor monitors performance of the current step.

3. The computer-implemented system of claim 2 , wherein the AR content data is displayed to on the display of the proctor device.

4. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors further cause both of the first image data and the second image data to be displayed on a display of a proctor device, whereby a proctor monitors performance of the current step.

5. The computer-implemented system of claim 4 , wherein the AR content data is displayed to on the display of the proctor device.

6. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors further identify at least one feature within the first image data or the second image data, the at least one feature comprising at least one of an anatomical feature of the user or at least one testing feature of at least one testing material of the test kit.

7. The computer-implemented system of claim 6 , wherein the AR content data is associated with the at least one feature.

8. The computer-implemented system of claim 7 , wherein the AR content data is overlaid onto the one of the first image data and the second image data at a position that corresponds with the at least one feature.

9. The computer-implemented system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one feature comprises one of: a nostril of the user, a test swab, and a portion of a testing material to which a testing solution is to be introduced by the user.

10. A computer-implemented method for a proctored examination platform, the computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by a computer system, first image data from a first imaging device of a user device, the first imaging device comprising a forward facing camera of the user device, and the first imaging data comprising at least an image of a user;

receiving second image data from a second imaging device of the user device, the second imaging device comprising a rearward facing camera of the user device, and the second imaging data comprising an image of a test kit for a medical diagnostic test;

during a medical diagnostic testing procedure, automatically causing one of the first image data and the second image data to be displayed on a display of the user device, wherein the one of the first image data and the second image data is selected based on a current step of the medical diagnostic testing procedure;

generating augmented reality (AR) content data associated with the current step of the medical diagnostic test, wherein the AR content data is configured to facilitate performance of the current step; and

causing the AR content data to be overlaid onto the displayed one of the first image data and the second image data.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising causing the one of the first image data and the second image data to be displayed on a display of a proctor device, whereby a proctor monitors performance of the current step.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the AR content data is displayed to on the display of the proctor device.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising causing both of the first image data and the second image data to be displayed on a display of a proctor device, whereby a proctor monitors performance of the current step.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the AR content data is displayed to on the display of the proctor device.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising identifying at least one feature within the first image data or the second image data, the at least one feature comprising at least one of an anatomical feature of the user or at least one testing feature of at least one testing material of the test kit.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 , wherein the AR content data is associated with the at least one feature.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , wherein the AR content data is overlaid onto the one of the first image data and the second image data at a position that corresponds with the at least one feature.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 17 , wherein the at least one feature comprises one of: a nostril of the user, a test swab, and a portion of a testing material to which a testing solution is to be introduced by the user.
