CA 2643582

The present invention is a system and a method for blood or urine sampling and sample-analysis, through a sampler that is a self blood-testing device or a urine-testing device. The system comprises a sampler, a transmission unit and an analysis unit. A patient may place a sampled blood drops on a sample strip and insert the strip into the sampler. The sampler may automatically prepare the sample and photograph it using a sample-preparation unit and a photography unit respectively. After the sample has been photographed, the resulting sample image may be transmitted to the analysis unit that may analyze the image through an image-processing algorithm. The analysis results may be automatically transmitted to the patient and to a medical authority, such as the patient's physician, a nurse, a clinic and the like, for further analysis, decision-making and treatment.

L'invention porte sur un système et un procédé de prélèvement et d'analyse d'échantillons de sang ou d'urine au moyen de dispositifs portables d'autotest. Le système comporte un échantilloneur, une unité de transmission, et une unité d'analyse. Dans le cas du sang, le patient place une goutte de sang sur une bandelette qu'il introduit dans l'échantilloneur. L'échantilloneur prépare automatiquement l'échantillon et le photographie, avec respectivement une unité de préparation et d'une unité de photographie. Une fois l'échantillon photographié, l'image peut être transmise à l'unité d'analyse qui procède à son analyse au moyen d'un algorithme de traitement d'images. Les résultats de l'analyse sont automatiquement transmis au patient, et aux autorités médicales en vue d'analyses supplémentaires, de prise de décisions et de traitement.
