Abstract: In one embodiment, a portable specimen and collection kit is provided. The kit provides improved patient triage and streamlined specimen collection with a cloud-based, HIPAA-compliant and user-friendly software that is accessed by a field operations person via a tablet computer and a mobile hotspot. The kit may use a software platform currently deployed in 7 U.S. state public health labs and most of the public health labs in Canada. Once patient demographic details and answers to triage questions are captured, labels are printed on an included wireless portable label printer and affixed to the specimen container(s). The software routes the specimen to the appropriate location (public health or commercial lab) for testing based on priority and workload. The order information is transmitted electronically to the testing laboratory information system so that the specimen is immediately ready to be tested upon receipt in the laboratory.

Abstract: A system for providing a companion mode for an application is provided. The system records network information about a computing device used to access or execute the application and a mobile device associated with a user. When the user indicates through the application that they want to have the mobile device perform an action, the system uses the network information to provide code for the particular action to the mobile device. A mobile application stored on the mobile device may then perform the action using the code without the user taking any additional steps. The system may similarly allow the user of the mobile application to have the application of the computing device perform an action. The system may use the network information to create a persistent tunnel between the mobile application and the application through which the applications may communicate results of actions and requests to perform additional actions.
Abstract: A system for encoding executable code into barcodes is provided. Executable code corresponding to a particular behavior, feature, or testing process of an application is encoded into a barcode such as a quick response (“QR”) code. The barcode may be placed at a location where the particular behavior, feature, or testing process may be useful or desired. Later, when a user is at the location, they may use their device to read the barcode and extract the executable code directly from the barcode. The device and/or application may then execute the executable code thereby incorporating the associated behavior, feature, or testing process into the application.
