1. A system for detecting an analyte indicative of an influenza viral infection in a bodily fluid from a subject, comprising:
- a) a fluidic device, said fluidic device comprising a sample collection unit and an assay assembly, wherein said sample collection unit allows a sample of bodily fluid suspected to contain said analyte to react with reactants contained within said assay assembly to yield a detectable signal indicative of the presence of said analyte;
b) a reader assembly comprising a detection assembly for detecting said detectable signal; and
c) a communication assembly for transmitting said detected signal to an external device.
