  • Publication number: 20230121265
    Abstract: As one example of remote health testing or diagnostics using a personal device and remote image quality verification, a user may be prompted to take an image, for example, of a reference card, using a camera of his or her personal user device. The image of the reference card can be uploaded by the personal user device to a server on the cloud. The server can be configured to evaluate the image to determine whether the image is already of sufficient quality (for being used in medical diagnostics) or the image can be processed using designated processing techniques and parameters to produce a processed image of sufficient quality. Finally, the server can respond to the user device with an indication of the determination result.

  • Publication number: 20230072470
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems, methods, and devices for self-administered sample collection. These systems, methods, and devices may make it easier for patients to obtain orders for medical testing from a medical provider and for patients to carry out sample collection procedures themselves in an acceptable manner. For example, the disclosure may enable easier self-imaging of a patient's mouth and/or throat, or may induce saliva production such that it is easier for a patient to generate a sufficient amount of sample for a saliva-based test.
