Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for carrying out health tests and for collecting health-related personal data, using a computer network and resources connected in this computer network via communication means, comprehensively
- the invention also relates to an associated mobile health testing facility.
- EP 2 214 872 B1 describes a method for projecting an image onto the surface of an object, comprising the method steps of projecting an image onto the surface of an object, which is a living being, with a robot arm, in particular, of a robot integrated or attached to the robot arm device for projecting an image, recording an image of the image projected on the surface of the living being by means of a camera attached to the robot arm or integrated into the robot arm, the projected image representing virtual input means, and analyzing an image recorded with the camera and associated with a further image data record on a ne gesture of a person to recognize an actuation of the virtual input means.
- the object of the invention is to create a method for carrying out health tests and for collecting health-related personal data, as well as an associated mobile health test system, with which health tests can be carried out as comprehensively as possible, at least largely automated, with little use of specialist personnel.
- the object is achieved according to the invention by a method for carrying out health tests and for collecting health-related personal data, using a computer network and resources connected in this computer network via communication means
- the invention thus also includes a concept for the highly autonomous collection of infection data in the population by decentralized mobile health test systems are set up, in particular set up temporarily, in which large numbers of individual citizens d. H .
- Individuals can sequentially leave a sample, such as a throat swab or nasal swab, for further analysis.
- the concept also envisages an internet-based server system with which sampling can be arranged and organized and the evaluation processes managed. Part of the concept is also the fastest possible provision of the test results for each individual person, but also for politics, the public sector, administration and the public health system, especially anonymously Shape .
- the personal database can also be designed to store the data in an anonymous form.
- the mobile health test facilities can, for example, consist of a weatherproof housing that can be approached on one side with a car or a minibus. On this side there is a closable opening from which a robot with the person or the subject can interact.
- a cleaning system for example to record the throat area of the test person, a storage area, which may can be loaded from the outside through a separate flap.
- a refrigerator for the samples taken which can be opened and closed by a simple mechanism, can also be present, for example.
- the system according to the invention prevents other people from being infected and reduces the personnel expenditure for collecting the test results.
- any medical test procedure can be used for the health tests.
- the specific medical test procedure to be used in each case depends on the current specific infection process or the type of infecting germs . Since the test procedure is carried out automatically using at least one robot, contamination of other people by an infected person is prevented.
- the automatic test procedure can also be carried out anonymously, i . H . anyone who wants to be tested can do so without having to communicate or get in touch with other people.
- the system according to the invention can be used around the clock, 24 hours a day, in particular seven days a week. Medically Qualified Personnel do not have to be called upon to carry out health tests in this way, so that these capacities, for example in hospitals, are retained or can even be expanded there.
- the system determines in which regions of a country there is currently a particularly high need for conducting health tests consists .
- the mobile health testing systems can then be made available on site as required.
- the mobile health testing systems can be dropped off at suitable locations, such as public spaces, parking lots or the like, for example by means of trucks.
- Each person can independently reserve a specific time, or agree and be assigned the time at which the person should appear at a specific mobile health testing facility .
- the data collected can be anonymized or personalized. In the case of personalized data, this can include, for example, the name, address and contact details, such as telephone number or e-mail address.
- the person concerned can arrange a time or an appointment without providing personalized data.
- the person can be assigned a code assigned by means of a random algorithm.
- the code can be assigned, for example, in plain text as a combination of letters and/or numbers, or encoded, for example in the form of a bar code or a QR code.
- one of the multiple mobile health testing systems is provided in close proximity to the personal location information of multiple people.
- the system automatically sends information about an individualized on-site appointment for the person concerned to the person's individual end device.

Provision can be made for mobile health testing facilities to be made available and set up at certain "hotspots" at an early stage, since an accumulation of necessary health tests can be assumed there.
- a laboratory diagnostic procedure to collect individualized test results from the individual Dual health-related test procedures can possibly already take place within the mobile health test facility.
- a laboratory diagnostic method for collecting individualized test results from the individual health-related test methods can be carried out separately from the mobile health test systems, for example in stationary laboratories, hospitals or health centers. This can depend on the type of laboratory diagnostic procedure required in each individual case of infection. If necessary, rapid tests can thus already be carried out within the mobile health testing facility and the result can be communicated to the respective tested person directly on site.
- the health-related personal data and the personal database can be anonymized or personalized.
- personal data is generally understood to be all data obtained from an individual person, regardless of whether it is anonymous or personalised.
- An essential health-related personal data record is, for example, the test result of the health test carried out. This special personal data record can, for example, only have one of the two states "positive” or "negative” or are "0" or "1".
