Abstract
Various embodiments of optical computing devices utilized in healthcare-related applications.
Claims17
A method for medical monitoring utilizing an optical computing device, the method comprising:
- optically interacting electromagnetic radiation with a sample to produce sample-interacted light;
- optically interacting the sample-interacted light with a multivariate optical calculation device forming part of the optical computing device, the multivariate optical calculation device having an Integrated Computational Element (“ICE”) core and being positioned to perform a regression calculation on the sample-interacted light to thereby produce a signal which corresponds to at least one medical characteristic of the sample;
- determine at least one medical characteristic of the sample using the signal, wherein the optical computing device is an antigen-based rapid diagnostic test (“RDT”) device;
- determine, using the multivariate optical calculation device, whether the antigen-based RDT device is temperature damaged or water damaged;
- and
- responsive to a determination the antigen-based RDT device is temperature or water damaged, correcting the signal.

An optical computing device utilized for medical monitoring, the device comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a multivariate optical calculation device inside the housing having an Integrated Computational Element (“ICE”) core and positioned to perform a regression calculation on sample-interacted light to thereby produce a signal which corresponds to at least one medical characteristic of a sample, wherein at least one medical characteristic of the sample is determined using the signal,
- wherein the optical computing device is an antigen-based rapid diagnostic test (“RDT”) device, and
- wherein the optical computing device determines, using the multivariate optical calculation device, whether the antigen-based RDT device is temperature damaged or water damaged and responsive to a determination the antigen-based RDT device is temperature or water damaged, correcting the signal.
