Smartphone method for assessing blood product characteristics
The patent US12064397B2 outlines a method and system for assessing the condition of blood components, such as plasma and platelets, that have been separated from whole blood and stored in containers. The method involves using a handheld computing device, such as a smartphone, to capture an image of the blood product container. This image is processed to evaluate the condition of the blood component, with a color tag attached to the container serving as a calibration reference for the image processing algorithm. The system can also scan barcodes on the container to generate unique identifiers, which are stored and can be communicated to a remote database for tracking and management purposes.
Additionally, the handheld device is equipped with a camera, display, and network interface, allowing it to wirelessly transmit the identified condition and container identifier to a remote computer or a memory tag attached to the blood product container. The device can download applications to enhance its functionality, enabling users to easily access the necessary tools for image acquisition and condition assessment. This innovative approach aims to streamline the monitoring of blood components, ensuring better management and traceability within blood establishments.
