  • the results of the analysis are stored in memory (610). The results are then displayed on the display 122 (612).
  • meter in this case is a non-electronic, low-cost adapter in the form of an application running on the mobile device 102. While the system 100 requires a fluid metering application stored on the mobile device 102 that includes signal processing and analysis functionality, there is no separate hardware other the mobile device 102. Thus, the application is easy to update and inexpensive to distribute to users that have already existing mobile devices such as smart phones and the like. The use of an optically based test strip such as the test sensor 110 does not utilize noble metals, reducing the cost of the test sensor.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de déterminer une concentration d'analyte dans un échantillon de fluide. Un dispositif mobile, tel qu'un téléphone intelligent, comprend un processeur, une caméra, ainsi qu'une mémoire. L'invention concerne également un étui destiné à contenir le dispositif mobile. Cet étui comprend un logement de capteur destiné à contenir un capteur d'essai comportant une zone de réaction destinée à contenir l'échantillon de fluide. Lorsque l'étui est couplé au dispositif mobile, la zone de réaction du capteur d'essai est alignée avec la caméra. Une application de dosage est chargée sur le dispositif mobile. L'application est exécutée par le processeur pour capturer des données d'images de l'échantillon de fluide provenant de la caméra et analyser le contenu de l'échantillon de fluide en fonction des données d'images.
