Abstract: A system is herein provided for enabling optical transmission of data between a sensor and a smart device, including a computing device running testing related code in a materials testing Application, wherein the device has a screen and a camera in proximity to the screen; a materials testing adaptor including a light source and a light receiver, wherein the adaptor is adapted to be placed at least partially over the computer device screen, and at least partially over the computer device camera; wherein the computer device communicates data optically to the testing adaptor using at least a part of the screen, and the testing adaptor communicates data optically to the computer device using the light source; and wherein the computer device receives data optically from the testing adaptor using the camera, and the testing adaptor receives data optically from the computer device using the light receiver.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for health management, for performing a parameter measurement in a fluid sample, including a mobile communications device with an application adapted to perform health management for one or more health related conditions; a strip adapted to absorb a fluid sample and to produce a signal indicative of the parameter level in the sample; and a fluid testing apparatus for obtaining an analog measurement of the fluid parameter, the fluid testing apparatus including an adaptor adapted to connect the strip to the mobile communications device to thereby allow delivery of the produced signal or a correlated signal to the mobile communications device for obtaining a measurement of the fluid parameter displayed on the mobile communications device, wherein the fluid testing apparatus relies on the mobile communications device for at least one of power supply and display means, and wherein the system includes a power level adjustment means associated with the device audio jack and/or the ada

Abstract: The invention is directed to a mobile hand held miniature laboratory system in general, and to fluid testing apparatus for performing a parameter measurement in a fluid sample and methods of use in particular. The apparatus comprising: a strip adapted to absorb a fluid sample and to produce a signal indicative of the parameter level in the sample; and adaptor adapted to connect the strip to a smart phone to allow delivery of the produced signal or a correlated signal to the smart phone for obtaining a measurement of the fluid parameter displayed on the smart phone, wherein the testing apparatus relies on the smart phone at least for power supply and display device. The fluid may be a physiological fluid such as blood, urine, saliva or amniotic fluid, or a non-physiological fluid such as fluid obtained from industrial pools for fish or algae growth, or entertainment swimming pools.
