Automated camera-based optical assessment involves color assessment of a physical object using conventional and inexpensive computer hardware such as a smartphone. A specially-configured test card includes a body supporting a reagent pad configured to change to an expected color in response to an enzymatic reaction, and an imaging key adjacent the reagent pad. The imaging key includes color fields including at least one field of the expected color. The hardware captures an image of the test card, and processes the image to identify the reagent pad and color fields, to process a brightness calibration target, to determine color values for the reagent pad and color fields, to calibrate the color values as a function of brightness and/or color by comparison to the brightness and color calibration targets, and to identify a color field most closely matching the reagent pad's color to determine a corresponding test result.

Automated camera-based optical assessment system and method

A non-invasive blood sensor includes a body configured to mate with a tissue surface; a blue light source disposed on the sensor body; and a photodetector disposed on the sensor body at a suitable position for capturing light emanating from the tissue surface after emission from the blue light source, e.g., by one of: transmission, reflection, and transflection. The sensor bodies may further include a green, a red and/or an infrared light source. The light source(s) and photodetector(s) may be supported on a support structure configured to register with a corresponding portion of human anatomy in a predetermined fashion, and support the light sources and photodetectors in a defined spatial relationship. The sensor or an integrated meter may include a controller programmed to receive signals from the photodetector and calculate blood glucose value as function of the signals received from the photodetector after emission by the light source(s).
