Mobile application interactive user interface for a remote computing device monitoring a test device

A computing device, comprising:

• a storage device;
• a display;
• and
• a processor operably connected to the storage device and the display, the processor configured to:
• receive information pertaining to a test performed on or related to a remotely located testing device testing a specimen separate from the testing device, via a mobile communication platform configured to receive an input message from the remotely located testing device, the input message indicating, before any sending of test data or information, that the test data or information is available from the remotely located testing device, and to generate a reply message to request the test data or information from the remotely located testing device, and the messaging platform configured to interface with one or more remote or mobile computing devices to transmit the test data or information for the remotely located testing device to the one or more remote computing devices;
• render on the display an information message having a first portion indicative of the testing device, a second portion indicative of information related to a test being conducted on the separate specimen being tested in the testing device, and a third portion indicative of time that has elapsed since the second portion has occurred;
• and
• update the third portion indicative of the time that has elapsed.

A mobile data platform for monitoring a remotely located testing system including one or more remotely located testing devices operated through one or more controller units, comprising:

• a communication device to receive information on one or more tests operable on the one or more remotely located testing devices;
• a display component configured to invoke a graphical user interface to display the received information, wherein the received information is determined by parameters identified by an individual user for that individual user;
• and
• a mobile communication platform configured to receive an input message from the one or more remotely located testing devices, the input message indicating, before any sending of test data or information, that the test data or information is available from the one or more remotely located testing devices, and to generate a reply message to request the test data or information from the one or more remotely located testing devices, and the messaging platform configured to interface with one or more remote or mobile computing devices to transmit the test data or information for the one or more remotely located testing devices to the one or more remote computing devices.
