Saliva sample testing devices, methods, and mobile app

A saliva test kit comprising:

• a saliva sample container for holding collected saliva;
• a dropper for selectively conveying a limited volume of at least a portion of the collected saliva;
• a saliva testing device, the testing device comprising
• a substantially planar test platform;
• a first array of saliva testing areas, the first array of saliva testing areas being colorimetric analysis test areas;
• a second array of saliva testing areas adjacent the first array of saliva testing areas, the second array of saliva testing areas being flow assay test areas on which saliva composition visible indicators may develop;
• a layer underlying the first and second arrays composed of a fluid-absorbing material;
• a color pallet adjacent the first and second arrays of saliva testing areas;
• and
• a computing device operatively associated with the saliva testing device for generating one or both of a display selected from the group consisting of test results and trend identifiers of the saliva testing areas and assessing and reporting saliva analysis test results.

A saliva test kit for identifying health trends comprising:

• a saliva sample container for holding collected saliva;
• a dropper for selectively conveying a predetermined volume of the collected saliva;
• a saliva testing device, the testing device comprising
• a substantially planar test platform;
• a first array of saliva testing areas;
• a second array of saliva testing areas adjacent the first array of saliva testing areas;
• a trend identifier selected from the group consisting of graphs and information indicators, the trend identifier providing data selected from the group consisting of one or more tests, oral health parameters, risk levels, and treatment effectiveness;
• a color pallet adjacent the first and second arrays of saliva testing areas;
• and
• a computing device operatively associated with the saliva testing device for reading the results of the saliva testing areas and assessing and reporting saliva analysis test results.

A self-contained saliva testing apparatus comprising:

• a substantially planar test platform having a testing array surface;
• a first array of saliva testing areas formed on the testing array surface, the first array of saliva testing areas being colorimetric analysis test areas, the first array of saliva testing areas being formed in a restricted saliva test responsive area including a reagent responsive to one or more biomarkers;
• a second array of saliva testing areas formed on the testing array surface adjacent the first array of saliva testing areas, the second array of saliva testing areas being flow assay test areas, the second array of saliva testing areas being formed in one or more band-indicating strips of test responsive areas and including a reagent responsive to one or more biomarkers;
• a layer underlying the first and second arrays composed of a fluid-absorbing material;
• and
• a color pallet formed on the testing array surface adjacent the first and second arrays of saliva testing areas.
