Publication number: 20240005485Abstract: There is provided a method for determining an error in image data of bodily fluid testing equipment. The method comprises detecting (S304) a first colour of a first testing region in the image data, comparing (S306) the detected first colour to reference colours, determining (S308) respective difference scores between the detected first colour and the reference colours, determining (S310) a closest reference colour wherein the closest reference colour has a lowest difference score, determining (S312) whether the difference score between the detected first colour and the closest reference colour is less than a predetermined maximum difference score, performing (S380) a first action when the difference score is less than the predetermined maximum difference score, and determining (S390) that there is an error in the first testing region in the image data and performing a second action when the difference score is not less than the predetermined maximum difference score.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2021Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Luke HERON, Andrew BOTHAM, Christopher HEWITT

Publication number: 20230324378Abstract: 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 acquiring image data of a bodily fluid testing equipment (100, 200), determining at least one edge (539) of a first bodily fluid testing region (109, 209), determining a location of the first bodily fluid testing region, sampling colour data of a sub-region (541) of the first bodily fluid testing region, determining, based upon the sampled colour data, whether an indicator of a bodily condition has interacted with the first bodily 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2020Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Luke HERON, Andrew BOTHAM, Christopher HEWITT

Patent number: 11480563Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2019Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: TestCard Ltd.Inventors: Luke Heron, Andrew Botham

Publication number: 20220291132Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2020Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Luke HERON, Andrew BOTHAM, Christopher HEWITT

Publication number: 20220291131Abstract: An application-analysable bodily fluid testing equipment (100, 200, 300) is provided. The application-analysable bodily fluid testing equipment comprises at least one testing region (109, 209, 309) sensitive to an indicator of a bodily condition in bodily fluid from which image data is capturable and analysable by an associated application on a device. The bodily fluid testing equipment further comprises a handling indicator (107, 207, 307) indicating an area of the equipment for a user to hold during the application of a bodily fluid to the at least one testing region, and during capture of the image data for analysis of the bodily fluid applied to the at least one testing region using the application on the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2020Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Luke HERON, Andrew BOTHAM, Christopher HEWITT

Publication number: 20220291205Abstract: A lateral flow bodily fluid testing system is provided. The system comprises an application-analysable bodily fluid testing equipment (100, 200, 300) and an electronic device (1001) comprising a camera (1002) and one or more processors (1004). The one or more processors are configured to acquire image data of the application-analysable bodily fluid testing equipment with the camera of the electronic device, perform testing of bodily fluid applied to the application-analysable bodily fluid testing equipment using the image data to determine whether indicators of one or more bodily conditions are present in the applied bodily fluid, and output a result indicating whether the indicators of one or more bodily conditions are present in the applied bodily fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2020Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Luke HERON, Andrew BOTHAM, Christopher HEWITT
