Abstract: A portable electronic device with a touch-sensitive display launches a software application configured for requesting a diagnostic test for Avellino corneal dystrophy and checking a result of the diagnostic test for Avellino corneal dystrophy. The device logs in to the software application. Subsequent to logging into the software application, the device displays a request form for a diagnostic test for Avellino corneal dystrophy on the touch-sensitive display. While displaying the request form, the device receives a signature at a location on the touch-sensitive display that corresponds to a signature block of the displayed request form. In response to receiving the signature, the device stores the signature for the request form as an electronic file in the memory. The device transmits the signed request form to a server computer that is located remotely from the portable electronic device.
