Claim 171:
172. A method for diagnosing a target disease comprising the steps of:
obtaining a smell testing device comprising a plurality of smell test substances;
responding to each smell test substance of the smell testing device;
recording temporal data regarding capturing an image of this response;
scoring a number of smell test substances correctly identified to determine a test score number;
entering into digital memory the test score number with other target personal data of a person who used smell testing device;
entering target personal data of said person into digital memory;
obtaining a used testing device for analysis;
capturing an image of indicia presented on said used testing device with a mobile device;
orienting said image;
determining disposition of said indicia;
accessing said digital memory to retrieve relevant target personal data associated with said used testing device;
digitizing indicia data;
determining if all relevant indicia present on used testing device have been digitized;
periodically comparing relevant personal medical record data with a result of each corresponding used testing device using machine learning methodology to refine at least one classification model for predicting likelihood of target disease or family of diseases within a specified time period, based on result of smell test and other relevant target personal data, and create latest method for determining result based on the classification model(s);
transmitting a latest method for determining result to at least one mobile device;
enabling the latest method for determining result in mobile device;
determining said result by evaluating individual components of digital indicia data and available relevant target personal data;
displaying said result;
determining if any nonolfactory biomarker test results are missing;
displaying comment regarding any missing non-olfactory biomarker test results;
adding a set of data and result into a database;
accessing within said database a set of data and result associated with said person, and repeat periodically for each set of data and result in said database;
determining if said person agrees to be notified of relevant clinical trials;
determining if said result indicates that the target disease is present at time of determination of said test score number or at a future time;
analyzing data and results associated with at least one set of used testing devices to derive at least one target parameter for a target population;
transmitting a set of data, including results and target parameters data, to at least one additional remote database server;
transmitting at least one of said target parameters to at least one mobile device;
displaying information relevant to at least one of said target parameters on at least one mobile device;
accessing available clinical trials information;
providing feedback regarding lack of relevant currently open clinical trials which are currently open;
determining if said person's test result and relevant personal data meet acceptance criteria for relevant trials;
comparing available clinical trials' acceptance criteria with the person's test result and other relevant personal data;
providing relevant clinical trials information to the person; and
responding regarding at least one relevant clinical trial, if interested.
