  • Publication number: 20240038385
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and graphical user interfaces for remotely proctored, at-home drug testing are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a video connection, an audio connection, and/or a real-time messaging service may be established between a user device and a supervising user device for the purposes of conducting remote drug testing. User interface data may be sent to the user device to display various instructions to assist in the remote drug testing, such as instructions for providing an image of user identification or instructions for collecting a sample or developing results. User interface data may also be sent to the supervising user device for the purposes of supervising the remote drug testing, such as for verifying the user identification or recording the results.

  • Publication number: 20240028176
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and graphical user interfaces for recreating the display states of diagnostic test results are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method is disclosed for displaying a graphical user interface with a plurality of non-overlapping bands that each have a display state selected from among a set of possible display states. The display state of each band may be initially set to a default state selected from among the set of possible display states. The display state of each band may be quickly changed by a user input, allowing for the quick recreation of the overall display state of a diagnostic test result. The display states of the bands can be converted into a machine-readable format for more-efficient communication and storage.

  • Publication number: 20230419728
    Abstract: Systems and methods of using audio and stacked computer vision algorithms in user environment and user behavior detection are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a ground truth stress test may be used to ensure a high quality and accuracy of a video feed captured of a user performing a diagnostic test. A set of stacked computer vision algorithms may be applied to the video feed in order to extract from the video feed a user behavior exhibited while the user performed the diagnostic test, evaluate a plurality of markers associated with the exhibited user behavior, and generate a marker profile for the behavior. The marker profile can be compared against a database to classify the behavior as a type of anomalous behavior. In some embodiments, pre-recorded audio utterances can also be selected and played to the user performing the diagnostic test for guidance purposes.

  • Publication number: 20230368436
    Abstract: In some instances, the system may be used as part of a telehealth proctored examination, wherein a user is connected with a remote proctor via an electronic video conferencing link over an electronic network in order for the remote proctor to monitor, in real time, the examination and diagnostic process to ensure that the exam is being performed correctly and/or that the user is not cheating the exam while taking the exam or interpreting the results of the exam. During such telehealth proctored examination, the system can be configured to use the color gradient remapping features and processes disclosed herein to assist the user in interpreting and/or determining the results of an examination by allowing the user to more easily identify where a color of an exam result lies within a color gradient reference chart by remapping the color of the exam result and the colors of the gradient reference chart.
