Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for detecting, storing, analyzing and enabling access to collected biological or environmental test data. The method includes providing one or more test packs comprising one or more testing strips or swabs for testing biological or environmental materials. The method further includes testing a targeted material at a targeted location and scanning, via a scanning device connected to a computer network, the one or more testing mediums to create collected test data based on the revealed information of the testing, wherein the scanning takes place a short time after the testing and at the targeted location, and wherein the collected test data includes the time, date and geographical tracking data based on the GPS location of the scanning device at the time of the scanning.

Claims

1. A method for detecting, measuring, storing, analyzing and enabling access to collected biological or environmental test data, the method comprising:

a) providing one or more test packs comprising one or more testing mediums for testing biological or environmental materials;

b) testing, via the one or more testing mediums, a targeted material at a targeted location, wherein the one or more testing mediums reacts with the targeted material to reveal information including a scannable element;

c) scanning, via a scanning device connected to a computer network, the one or more testing mediums to create collected test data based on the scannable element, wherein the scanning takes place a short time after the testing and at the targeted location, and wherein the collected test data includes the time, date and geographical tracking data based on the GPS location of the scanning device at the time of the scanning;

d) sending, via the scanning device, the test data to a remote database located on a remote server;

e) enabling remote access to the test data in the remote database;

f) accessing, via an accessing device connected to the remote server, the remote database to view information about areas of concern.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising aggregating the collected test data across specific data points, wherein test area category includes food, air, water, soil, consumer products and self.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising listing, based on geographic location, targeted areas of particular concern where test data shows environmental or biological issues.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the test packs comprise a specific bundle of testing mediums directed towards a goal objective.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising creating transformation objectives for the targeted areas and enrolling users in targeted groups wherein each targeted group is associated with a targeted area.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising providing the targeted groups periodic updates including updated collected data and progress on achieving the transformation objective.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the scanning device is a mobile phone, mobile tablet device, smart watch, smart wearable, virtual reality or augmented reality headset.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the testing strips reveal bar codes based on the testing and the scanning is performed by reading the testing strip bar code via a camera located on the scanning device to create the collected test data.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the scannable element further comprises specific colors based on the reaction and the scanning is performed by taking a photo of the strip and recognizing the color to create the collected test data.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein the scannable element further comprises specific alphabetical, numerical, or alphanumeric shapes based on the testing and the scanning is performed by taking a photo of the strip and recognizing the shape to create the collected test data.

11. The method of claim 7, wherein the targeted material tested is part of a consumer product and, and wherein the scanning step further comprises scanning a barcode on a container of the consumer product and adding the container barcode to the collected test data.

12. A system for storing, analyzing and enabling access to collected biological or environmental test data, the system comprising:

(a) one or more test packs comprising one or more testing mediums for testing biological or environmental materials, wherein the one or more testing mediums reacts with a targeted material to reveal information including a scannable barcode element;

(b) a scanning interface in communication with the test packs, wherein the scanning interface comprises a processor for scanning the one or more testing surfaces to create collected test data and electronically sending the test data to a remote database within a short time after the testing;

(c) an access system for enabling remote access to the test data in the remote database (d) a plurality of accessing entities, wherein the accessing entities comprise processors for viewing the test data.
