A point of care diagnosis system comprising of a smartphone and a method for reading the different reagent strips, that performs tests such as routine urinalysis, determining albumin to creatinine ratio and blood sugar tests based on reflectance photometry. uChek uses the camera sensor as an accurate image sensor, with the help of various image processing algorithms, to capture and perform various diagnostic tests.
