Patent number: 8383058Abstract: Disclosed is a method for testing a modified specimen such as a dried blood spot, plasma or serum specimen, for an analyte of interest, such as cholesterol. In accordance with the disclosed subject matter, the level of the analyte of interest in the medium from which the modified specimen was obtained (e.g., from a patient's blood) is determined based on the level of an analyte in a solution formed from the modified specimen and on the level of at least one normalizing analyte. The analyte and normalizing analyte each may be an ion, compound, biochemical entity, or property of the specimen. Also disclosed are a fluid collector and a fluid collection device.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2009Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Home Access Health CorporationInventors: Ilia Vinogradov, Michael Wandell, Barbara Godsey

Publication number: 20020137025Abstract: An anonymous testing system for taking a sample of body fluid to be tested, the sample is acquired in private and sent for analyzation to obtain results. The system comprises a test kit for creating a sample of body fluid, a personal code for anonymously identifying the sample and the person, and an electronic file telephonically created and accessed by the person taking the test and identified by the personal code. The electronic file contains the test results determined by analyzation. There is also a method of anonymously testing of a person's body fluid in a private and the results to be anonymously received by the person without having to reveal his or her identification. The method comprises the steps of procuring a test kit for taking a sample of the body fluid. The test kit has a personal code associated therewith and equipment to take the sample.

Publication number: 20020110930Abstract: Disclosed is a coded testing apparatus. In accordance with the disclosed invention, a user may perform a medical test which yields an encoded test result. The user then communicates the encoded test result to a facility, whereupon the facility provides the result to the user. The invention allows for many of the advantages of “instant” medical testing, such as convenience and anonymity, but avoids substantial drawbacks associated with known “instant” tests, such as the inability to request demographic information, the inability to provide appropriate medical oversight, and the inability to provide adequate medical counseling.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2002Publication date: August 15, 2002Applicant: Home Access Health CorporationInventors: Richard A.
