VENDOR EXCLUSIVITY SECURITY FEATURE FOR PAPER-BASED DIAGNOSTIC SOLUTION

摘要

Disclosed herein is a paper based diagnostic device including a portable biomedical diagnostic device comprising, paper, wax, and reagents. The biomedical diagnostic device can analyze biochemical assays in test fluids such as blood, urine, and saliva. Diagnostic devices can include one or more of tracking information, personal identification information, security information, color calibration information, and environmental indicators. The security information can further include keys or codes identifying one or more unique characteristics. One aspect of the security information ensures that only predeterminable vendors are able to determine the results of a test from the diagnostic devices.

主权项

1. A paper-based sensor method comprising:
applying a test sample of a substance to a paper-based sensor, the paper-based sensor reacting to the test sample to generate one or more color indicators; capturing an image of the paper-based sensor after the test sample is applied to the paper-based sensor; performing colorimetric image processing of the captured image of the paper-based sensor to determine one or more colorimetric properties associated with the paper-based sensor, the colorimetric properties indicating one or more attributes associated with the test sample; wherein the paper-based sensor includes one or more of tracking information, personal identification information, security information, color calibration information, and environmental indicators; and, wherein said security information includes a key to decode at least one unique characteristic.
