Abstract: An improved electronic diagnostic device for detecting the presence of an analyte in a fluid sample comprises a casing having a display, a test strip mounted in the casing, a processor mounted in the casing, and a first sensor mounted in the casing and operatively coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to receive a signal from the first sensor when the device is exposed to ambient light thereby causing the device to become activated. The device includes a light shield that exerts pressure across a width of the test strip to prevent fluid channeling along the length of the test strip. The processor is configured to present an early positive test result reading when a measured value exceeds a predetermined early reading threshold value at any time after a predetermined early testing time period.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and test kits for monitoring and detecting variation in an analyte level in a fluid sample from an individual variation using a uniquely determined analyte threshold value. In one implementation, luteinizing hormone is the monitored analyte and is compared with the determined threshold value to predict the onset of ovulation for the individual.
