Computer code for portable sensing

A system including memory and computer codes for detecting and transferring analyte data, said system comprising:

• a code directed to capturing said analyte data using a first device or a second device;
• a code directed to converting said analyte data into a transmissible format;
• a code directed to transmitting said converted analyte data in said transmissible format from said first device or said second device;
• and
• a code directed to receiving said transmitted data in said transmissible format using said first device or said second device;
• wherein said first device and said second device are functionally equivalent.

A system including memory and computer codes for identifying an analyte, said system comprising:

• a code for capturing at a first location data pertaining to said analyte whose identity is unknown;
• a code for transmitting said data from said first location via a computer network;
• a code for receiving said data at a second location;
• and
• a code for comparing said received data at said second location to data pertaining to known analytes, thereby identifying said analyte.

A system including memory and computer codes for analyzing data pertaining to a detected analyte, said system comprising:

• a code directed to transmitting data pertaining to known analytes from an electronic library to a first location via a computer network;
• a code directed to receiving said data pertaining to known analytes at said first location;
• and
• a code directed to analyzing said data pertaining to said detected analyte using said received data pertaining to known analytes at said first location and generating an analysis result.

A system including memory and computer codes for delivering analyte data, said system comprising:

• a code directed to receiving a request from a user requesting data of a known analyte;
• a code directed to retrieving data of said known analyte from an electronic library;
• and
• a code directed to transmitting said retrieved data to said user via a computer network.

A system including memory and computer codes for delivering medicine to a patient at a remote location, said system comprising:

• a code directed to identifying needs of said patient at said remote location;
• a code directed to transmitting information relating to said needs to a processor via a computer network;
• a code directed to receiving from said processor information in response to said needs;
• and
• a code directed to using information received from said processor to synthesize or dispense said medicine to satisfy said needs of said patient.
