  • Publication number: 20240238778
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes multiplexed systems, methods, devices, and kits for detecting status of one or more health conditions in a single device. It includes an extraction container for receiving a sample and extracting a target material from the sample; a testing container with at least a first and second well containing one or more buffers for receiving the extracted target material, and a signal output device including a housing containing two or more strips, each strip containing a) a loading zone; b) a reaction zone; c) a testing zone; and d) a control zone. The system and methods can be adapted for assessment of sexual health of one or more subjects, in relation to pregnancy, fertility, and/or sexually transmitted infections caused by one or more agents.

  • Publication number: 20240175094
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides multiplexed system with methods using a multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), at-home collection and laboratory testing kits for detecting whether at least one or more sexual health conditions is present in a sample. For example, the multiplex real-time qPCR method can be used for simultaneous detection of target nucleic acids (e.g., DNA) from, for example, Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) from clinician-collected or at-home self-collected specimens. The present disclosure also computer implemented methods and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable computer program constructions comprising code for carrying out steps used in a telehealth platform for communication to and from a client device, provider device, and a pharmacy device.

  • Patent number: 11782060
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting status of a health condition in a single-step process includes: a signal output device including a) a loading zone; b) a reaction zone fluidly coupled to the loading zone and including one or more reaction substances conjugated to labels, configured to enable detection of target material associated with the health condition; c) a testing zone fluidly coupled to the reaction zone and including one or more testing substances corresponding to the target material; and d) a control zone including a control substance retained at the control zone. The system and methods can be adapted for assessment of sexual health of one or more subjects, in relation to pregnancy, fertility, and/or sexually transmitted infections caused by one or more agents including, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas vaginalis, Treponema pallidum, Gardnerella vaginitis, human immunodeficiency virus, human papillomavirus infection, Hepatitis B, and herpes simplex virus.
