1. A method comprising:

  • capturing, using a standard user equipment (UE) having specified image capturing and processing capabilities, an image of a dipstick having one or more colored test reagents, and a calibration array having a plurality of colored calibration elements which are specifically tailored to said colored test reagents;

    deriving, based on the captured image, illumination parameters associated with the dipstick and the calibration array;

    determining whether the illumination parameters are within a set of predefined illumination boundary conditions which are sufficient for interpreting the one or more colored test reagents, given the specified image capturing and processing capabilities of the UE;

    applying one or more image enhancement operation to the captured image, to yield an enhanced image, based on predefined mapping between the derived illumination parameters and one or more required adjustments; and

    interpreting the one or more colored test reagents, based on the colored calibration elements, in the enhanced image.
