Abstract: A method for determining an indicator of a bodily condition in an image of a bodily fluid testing equipment captured by an electronic device is provided. The method comprises determining colour data of a first bodily fluid testing region (109, 209) of a bodily fluid testing equipment (100, 200) from image data of the bodily fluid testing equipment, determining colour calibration data of at least one background sub-region (543) of a background region (545) of the bodily fluid testing equipment, calibrating the colour data based upon the determined colour calibration data, determining whether an indicator of a bodily condition has interacted with the first bodily fluid testing region, and providing an output, wherein the output is based upon whether the indicator of the bodily condition has interacted with the first bodily fluid testing region.

Abstract: Medical test cards for detecting analytes are provided including a substantially planar body, an analyte detection means, an opening feature, and an optical code. The analyte detection means is enclosed within the planar body and is configured to provide a colorimetric change when a portion of the analyte detection means is contacted with the analyte. The opening feature is configured to provide access to the analyte detection means and the optical code includes information identifying the analyte detection means. Uses of such medical test cards include accessing the analyte detection means enclosed within the planar body by using the opening feature and contacting the analyte detection means with the sample. The optical code is read using an imaging device to identify the analyte detection means and the analyte detection means is imaged following contact with the sample using the imaging device.
