A system for analyzing a physiological sample includes a cartridge configured to attach to the skin of a subject. The cartridge includes: a processing fluid pack that is configured to release a processing fluid stored therein, a diagnostic test strip, and a vacuum pin. The system also includes a lancet with a needle. The lancet is configured to deploy the needle upon engagement with the cartridge to draw a physiological sample from the subject. The vacuum pin is configured to create a vacuum within the cartridge to draw the released processing fluid and the drawn physiological sample to the diagnostic test strip.
