Abstract: In a network and a method for evaluating medical data, a disposable biochip is provided which contains a patient sample with multiple biomolecular markers, as well as a biochip identifier which characterizes the biochip. The biochip is inserted into a point of care test device, which reads the biochip identifier. The point of care test device transmits the data characterizing the biochip to a remote server having access to a data bank in which a large number of measurement protocols are stored, and which selects one of the measurement protocols for testing the sample based on the transmitted data characterizing the biochip. The measurement protocol is transmitted back to the point of care test device via the data link, where the sample is tested using the measurement protocol. The test results are evaluated in an expert system, and a diagnostic result is displayed at the point of care test device.

Abstract: In a method and a network for evaluating medical data in a clinical study, biochips containing patient samples with multiple biomolecular markers are tested in a number of point of care test devices respectively at point of care sites. Each test of each biochip sample produces a diagnostic result, which is entered into the electronic patient record for the patient who produced the sample. A follow-up examination is subsequently conducted for each patient, and the results of the follow-up examination are also entered into that patient's electronic patient record. The follow-up results indicate whether the diagnostic test result was a false positive, a false negative or correct. The follow-up data and the original diagnostic results from all point of care sites are electronically transmitted to a remote server, which has access to an expert system which uses the test results and the follow-up data to automatically devise a measurement protocol for a selected pathology.
