Systems, devices, and methods for remote collection of biometric data and specimen sample with identity verification of collector

A method of verifying a specimen and/or biological information obtained from a person at a first location to be provided to a second location with the person being verified as an intended person and the specimen and/or biological information being verified as obtained from the intended person, the method comprising:

• establishing an internet communication between the person and a verification assistant;
• confirming identification of the person as being the intended person to the verification assistant through the internet communication;
• videoing a preassigned unique code corresponding to the intended person on a coded collection device that contains the preassigned unique code and is to be used by the intended person at the first location and/or videoing removal of a collection device from a coded tamper-evident container containing the preassigned unique code;
• and
• optionally videoing the intended person while obtaining one or more specimens from the intended person or one or more types of biological information of the intended person,
• wherein the obtaining the one or more specimens from the intended person comprises placing the one or more specimens after collecting in the coded collection device or in the coded tamper-evident sample container;
• and
• wherein the obtaining the one or more types of biological information of the intended person comprises:
• videoing the intended person while obtaining the one or more types of biological information of the intended person.

A kit for collecting a verified specimen and/or verified biological information from an intended person at a first location to be provided to a second location, the person at the time of said collecting being verified as the intended person, the kit comprising:

• a preassigned unique code labeled on the kit corresponding to the intended person;
• instructions for establishing communication with a verification assistant;
• and
• at least one of a blood extraction device, a saliva collection device, a nasal secretion collection device, a urine collection device, a stool sample collection device, or a hair sample device.

A method for obtaining a specimen and/or biological information from a person at a first location to be provided to a second location with the person being verified as an intended person, the method comprising:

• a) providing an intended user with a kit comprising:
• i) at least one of a coded collection device containing a code or a coded tamper-evident container containing a code;
• ii) instructions for establishing communication with a verification assistant;
• and
• iii) at least one of a blood extraction device, a saliva collection device, a nasal secretion collection device, a urine collection device, a stool sample collection device, or a hair sample device;
• b) preassigning the code to the intended person to establish a kit comprising at least one of a coded collection device containing a preassigned unique code corresponding to the intended person or a coded tamper-evident container containing a preassigned unique code corresponding to the intended person;
• c) establishing a video communication between the intended person and a human or virtual verification assistant;
• d) confirming identification of the intended person to the verification assistant through the video communication;
• e) videoing the preassigned unique code corresponding to the intended person on the coded collection device that contains the preassigned unique code at the first location and/or videoing removal of a collection device from the coded tamper-evident container containing the preassigned unique code;
• and
• f) obtaining one or more specimens from the intended person and/or obtaining one or more types of biological information of the intended person,
• wherein the obtaining the one or more specimens of the intended person comprises at least one of:
• i) videoing the intended person while obtaining the one or more specimens;
• ii) videoing the one or more specimens after collecting being placed into the coded collection device;
• or
• iii) videoing the one or more specimens being placed in the coded tamper-evident sample container;
• and
• wherein the obtaining the one or more types of biological information of the intended person comprises:
• videoing the intended person while obtaining the one or more types of biological information of the intended person.
