1. A system for determining results for image-based disease diagnostic tests, the system comprising:

  • an optical property modifying device for a nucleic acid-based disease diagnostic test, including a plurality of reaction chambers on a surface of the optical property modifying device, and configured to react a biological sample with an optical property modifying reagent, wherein a reaction within the plurality of reaction chambers modifies an optical property of the optical property modifying reagent;

    a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by a processor of a mobile device of a user, cause the processor to;

    receive at least one image of the optical property modifying device captured by an optical sensor of the mobile device;

    for each image of the at least one image, determine whether the surface of the optical property modifying device is shown in the image based on at least one of a known geometric characteristic and a known color characteristic associated with the surface of the optical property modifying device;

    select one or more images of the at least one image that are determined to show the surface;

    determine a test result for the nucleic acid-based disease diagnostic test based at least in part on the one or more images and at least one of the reaction chambers; and

    provide the test result for display on an electronic display of the mobile device.
