    Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing visible chemical reactions are provided. In one implementation, the method may include receiving from an image sensor associated with a mobile communications device an image of a reagent pad in proximity to a colorized surface having at least one pair of colored reference elements. The method includes identifying in the image the reagent pad, a first colored reference element, and a second colored reference element. Thereafter, the method includes using the first colored reference element and the second colored reference element to determine an extent of a chemical reaction on the reagent pad irrespective of local illumination conditions. Then the method includes causing the mobile communications device to provide data based on the extent of the chemical reaction.

    Abstract: Kits, diagnostic systems and methods are provided, which measure the distribution of colors of skin features by comparison to calibrated colors which are co-imaged with the skin feature. The colors on the calibration template (calibrator) are selected to represent the expected range of feature colors under various illumination and capturing conditions. The calibrator may also comprise features with different forms and size for calibrating geometric parameters of the skin features in the captured images. Measurements may be enhanced by monitoring over time changes in the distribution of colors, by measuring two and three dimensional geometrical parameters of the skin feature and by associating the data with medical diagnostic parameters. Thus, simple means for skin diagnosis and monitoring are provided which simplify and improve current dermatologic diagnostic procedures.

    Abstract: A method for analyzing a dipstick using a smartphone is provided herein. The method includes: capturing an image containing: a dipstick having colored test reagents, and a color board having a grid of grey patches and a plurality of reference color patches; deriving, based on the grid, local illumination parameters associated with the colored test reagents and the plurality of reference color patches; determining whether illumination parameters are sufficient for interpreting the colored test reagent; in a case the illumination parameters are insufficient, notifying a user that an interpretation of the colored test reagents is not possible, otherwise, applying one or more image enhancement operation to the captured image, based on an analysis of the grid of grey patches, to yield enhanced reference color patches; and interpreting the one or more colored test reagents, by projecting the colored test reagents onto a vector of the enhanced reference color patches.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for testing visible chemical reactions of a reagent are provided. In one implementation, the method may include receiving from an image sensor associated with a mobile communications device an image of a reagent with a plurality of colored test reagent pads in proximity to a colorized surface having a plurality of colored reference elements of differing shades. The method further includes using the differing shades of the plurality of colored reference elements to determine local illumination conditions. Thereafter, the method includes using the determined local illumination conditions and an analysis of a depiction of the plurality of colored test reagent pads in the image to determine an extent of a chemical reaction on the reagent. Then the method includes causing the mobile communications device to provide to the user an indication that the testing of the reagent is complete.
