Abstract: The present application is generally directed to systems, methods, and devices for diagnostics for sensing and/or identifying pathogens, genomic materials, proteins, and/or other small molecules or biomarkers. In some implementations, a small footprint low cost device provides rapid and robust sensing and identification. Such a device may utilize microfluidics, biochemistry, and electronics to detect one or more targets at once in the field and closer to or at the point of care. In some implementations, the systems and methods herein implement a reader device, an assay cartridge, and a mobile or external device configured to receive abiological sample, test the biological sample, and provide test results to a patient or user associated with the patient. The test results may be packaged with additional information, including symptoms suffered by the patient, a diagnosis, and follow-up instructions.
