Description
“A SMART AND PORTABLE HEALTH TESTING KIT, A SYSTEM AND A METHOD THEREOF”
FIELD OF INVENTION:
[001] The present invention generally relates to a portable apparatus for use in conducting multiple health parameters. The present invention particularly relates to a smart and portable health parameters testing kit configured to provide quick results and having a health related prediction capability.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART:
[002] For health checkups, different instrumentations or kits are required to do different tests. In many instances, the patient is required to undergo different tests. This process has proven time consuming.
[003] Further, the test results are concluded after at least a few hours due to the nature of the present process of transporting samples to centralized machines to conduct the tests. In rural areas, the patient has to travel long distances and incur substantial costs like transportation and loss of wages, to access diagnostic testing facilities available in bigger towns. Moreover, the patient has to wait till the health test results are received for him/her to consult the medical expert.
[004] There are certain systems that provide a facility for conducting multiple health tests by means of a single apparatus or a system. However, they have considerable limitations. For example, some of them are standing, huge models and hence are not portable. Some of them, even though providing multiple tests, do not have some of the essential test facilities.
[005] IN202041039807 relates to a personal and portable medical diagnostic device, having embedded sensors and Internet of Things (IOT) devices. The portable medical diagnostic device consists of multiple specimen
collection modules in each side of the device. The interface of the smart, personal, and portable medical diagnostic device displays specimen icons on the display screen. These specimen icons relate to multiple health tests such as but not limited to blood test, urine test, skin test, and saliva test.
[006] US20140171758A1 discloses an Integrated Portable Medical
Diagnostic System. The invention provides methods, devices, and systems for an integrated portable medical diagnostic system to serve as a Hospital-in-a-Box. The Integrated Portable Medical Diagnostic System has a suitcase for housing a plurality of modules, a convenient carrying handle, stability feet and an extendable-retractable handle for rolling and carrying ease.
[007] The above-mentioned prior art having limitations in terms of connectivity with external health testing devices that could potentially provide more flexibility and ease of use. Additional drawbacks include the test range, power supply alternatives, adaptability in remote locations, and the lack of specific references to predictive health analysis.
[008] Therefore, there is a need for a novel portable health testing system to mitigate most of the drawbacks of the state-of-the-art machines.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:
[009] The primary object of the present invention is to provide a smart and portable health testing system adapted to conduct multiple health related tests while giving results within a short duration of time.
[010] An object of the present invention is to provide a smart and portable health testing system that is capable of making a health related prediction, based on previous recordings of the health related data.
[Oi l] Another object of the present invention is to provide a smart and portable health testing system that may be employed in any remote areas of the country, where health related tests facilities are scarce.
[012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a smart and portable health testing system, using which a medical practitioner may be able to view the test results remotely and still advise the patient appropriately.
[013] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a smart and portable health testing system that is cheaper in cost, for medical practitioners as well as persons desiring to undergo tests.
[014] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a smart and portable health testing system that integrates health readings into the government or medical institution’s health record system.
