HEALTH DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A health monitoring system, comprising:
- a computing system having a processor, a memory, and a health monitoring system program including a plurality of instructions stored in the memory that are executed by the processor to;
receive and store a first digital data packet that includes a first sample reading, collected at a first time interval, of a first diagnostic test of a first diaper configured to detect an analyte in bodily waste excreted by a subject, wherein the first sample reading includes data corresponding to an amount of the analyte detected in the first diagnostic test and the first time interval at which the first sample was collected;
receive and store a second digital data packet that includes a second sample reading, collected at a second time interval different from the first time interval, of a second diagnostic test of either the first diaper or a different diaper configured to detect the analyte, wherein the second sample reading includes data corresponding to an amount of the analyte detected and the second time interval at which the second sample was collected;
automatically compare the first and second sample readings against a standard for the analyte that indicates normal and abnormal levels of the detected analyte over different time intervals to analyze whether the first and second data readings correspond to an abnormal health condition of the subject based on the amount of the analyte detected in the first and second sample readings collected at the first and second time intervals; and
automatically transmit an indication if there is an abnormal level of detected analyte based on analyzing the first and second sample readings.

Abstract
A health monitoring system, and methods of use and manufacture thereof are disclosed. The health monitoring system may include a computing system and a diagnostic test coupled to a diaper. The diagnostic test may include one or more sensors configured to produce a visual indication of one or more analytes contained in a sample produced by a subject. The diagnostic test may include a machine-readable code. The computing system may be configured to read the machine-readable code to allow an application running on the computing system to automatically perform at least one task related to a production of a data point based on the visual indication. The health monitoring system may aid in identifying a potential abnormal health condition of the subject by providing automatic longitudinal analysis of analytes contained in samples produced by the subject over a period of time.

10. A health monitoring system, comprising:
-
a first diaper for collecting a first portion of bodily waste produced by a subject in a first interval of time; a first diagnostic test coupled to the first diaper, the first diagnostic test having a first set of one or more sensors configured to produce a first visual indication of one or more analytes contained in the first portion of bodily waste; and a first machine-readable code indicia proximate the first set of one or more sensors that is configured to be read by an optics system of a computing system configured to visually read the first machine-readable code to allow an application running on the computing system to perform at least one task related to a production of a first health monitoring data point based on the first visual indication. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A health monitoring system, comprising:
-
a first diaper including a first diagnostic test for producing a first at least quasi-quantitative indication of a first set of one or more analytes contained in a first portion of bodily waste excreted by a subject in a first interval of time; a second diaper including a second diagnostic test for producing a second at least quasi-quantitative indication of a second set of one or more analytes contained in a second portion of bodily waste excreted by the subject in a second interval of time; and a computing system configured to visually acquire the first and second at least quasi-quantitative indications, to analyze the first and second at least quasi-quantitative indications to produce respective first and second data points, and to send a notification to a user if both the first and second data points correspond to an abnormal health condition of the subject. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
