1. A computing resource comprising:
- a data communication interface;
one or more processors; and
one or more memories including computer program code,wherein the computing resource processes information relating to a test comprising at least one of the following;
a lateral flow test and a test of at least one chemical property that affects the visual appearance of an output area of the test, andthe one or more memories and the computer program code are configured to, with the one or more processors, cause the computing resource at least to;
receive, from an external entity related to the test, with the data communication interface, one or more of at least one instruction and at least one criterion parameter relating to test result generation of the test belonging to a certain manufacturing batch, the external entity related to the test comprising at least one of the following;
a manufacturer of the mobile test reader apparatus, a distributor of the mobile test reader apparatus, a manufacturer of the test, a distributor of the test, a health-care organization, and a service provider, andtransmit, with the data communication interface, the one or more of the instruction and the criterion parameter to at least one mobile test reader apparatus thereby enabling an online update of the mobile test reader apparatus in the field with respect to the test belonging to the certain manufacturing batch requiring tuning or recalibration based on feedback regarding use and results of tests from mobile test readers.

Abstract
Computing resource and mobile test reader are disclosed. Computing resource receives from external entity related to test at least one parameter relating to test result generation of test belonging to certain manufacturing batch, and transmits at least one parameter to at least one mobile test reader. Mobile test reader receives from computing resource at least one parameter, configures test reader application with received at least one parameter, takes, with digital camera controlled by test reader application configured with at least one parameter, image data depicting output area test, and transmits test use feedback to computing resource.
