1. A method of performing a structured collection protocol on a collection device comprising a processor and a memory component, wherein the method comprises:

  • providing a plurality of prior biomarker sample data which are stored in the memory of the collection device, wherein the prior biomarker samples comprise at least one value based on a measurement of a body fluid and plurality of contextualized data components linked to the prior biomarker samples;

    setting a first criterion, wherein the first criterion classifies prior biomarker samples as similar if prior biomarker samples share at least one identical contextualized data component;

    determining whether prior biomarker samples are similar based on the first criterion;

    grouping biomarker samples that are determined to be similar based on the first criterion;

    calculating expected values for future biomarker samples which satisfy the first criterion, wherein the calculation is based on at least a subset of the group of similar prior biomarker samples;

    setting a second criterion, wherein the second criterion is an acceptable variance from the calculated expected values, a threshold, or combinations thereof;

    collecting one or more biomarker samples which satisfy the first criterion; and

    evaluating via the processor the compliance of the collected biomarker samples with the second criterion.
