BACKGROUND
[002] The following description includes information that may be useful in understanding
the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior
art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or
10 implicitly referenced is prior art.
[003] Diagnostic test on samples/ reagent is performed to diagnose a condition, disease
or illness in humans. The diagnostic test of a human is performed on a sample taken from the
human body. The tests are carried on laboratories, a user with help of medical diagnostic
equipment performs a specific test on the sample to identify the presence of specific condition
15 or disease in the sample. The diagnostic equipment is equipped to perform various tests on the
sample; therefore, the user has to manually configure the equipment to perform the specific
tests. This kind of test is carried out on number of samples where the user manually configures
the equipment for each sample. Traditional diagnostic testing methods often rely on manual
data entry and sample handling processes which may lead to errors in results of the test due to
20 human error and inconsistency.
[004] Thus, there is a scope for improvement and need for automated and standardized
information verification systems in diagnostic testing for streamline the testing process,
enhancing accuracy, and minimizing the potential for errors.
