Abstract
The present invention relates to a rapid diagnostic kit reader including a measurement module into which a rapid diagnostic kit is inserted and a smart terminal that is seated on the measurement module, photographs a membrane of the rapid diagnostic kit inserted into the measurement module, analyzes an image captured by photographing the membrane, and determines a diagnosis result of the rapid diagnostic kit.
Claims18
A rapid diagnostic kit reader comprising a smart terminal, wherein:
- the smart terminal comprises:
- a user interface unit;
- a camera configured to photograph a membrane of a rapid diagnostic kit inserted into a measurement module;
- and
- a processor configured to determine a diagnosis result of the rapid diagnostic kit based on an image captured by photographing the membrane and display the diagnosis result through the user interface unit, and
- the smart terminal is seated on the measurement module,
- wherein the processor receives a measurement variable through the user interface unit and transmits the received measurement variable to the measurement module,
- wherein the measurement variable includes a combination of a type of rapid diagnostic kit and at least one of a type of light source configured to radiate light into the measurement module, an intensity of the light source, and a signal processing variable for determining the diagnosis result of the rapid diagnostic kit.

A rapid diagnostic kit reader comprising:
- a slot through which a rapid diagnostic kit is inserted into a housing or is discharged to the outside;
- a photographing assistant unit configured to allow a camera of a smart terminal to photograph the rapid diagnostic kit inserted into the housing;
- a light source configured to illuminate the rapid diagnostic kit inserted into the housing;
- and
- a control board configured to control the light source to illuminate the rapid diagnostic kit so that the camera of the smart terminal photographs the rapid diagnostic kit inserted into the housing,
- wherein the control board receives a measurement variable from the smart terminal and controls the light source according to the measurement variable,
- wherein the measurement variable includes a combination of a type of rapid diagnostic kit and at least one of a type of light source, an intensity of the light source, and a signal processing variable for determining a diagnosis result of the rapid diagnostic kit.
