    Abstract: Example systems may include an electronic device (e.g., a smartphone) and an attachment member that may couple the electronic device to a cup. The cup may be positioned within a field of view (e.g., within a focal length) of a camera that is coupled to or integral to the electronic device. The cup may receive a sample of whole blood and/or plasma. The attachment member may convey vibration from the electronic device to the cup. The cup may include a particle positioned in the cup. The camera may capture images of the cup including the particle, and motion of the particle may be used by the electronic device to calculate a clotting time of the sample. For example, the particle may move freely responsive to vibration during a time the sample is in a non-clotted state, but may slow and/or stop motion when the sample has clotted.
