MobileApp:Using ARIS Bluetooth functionality

Before using Bluetooth functionality, it must first be properly configured. Notice that such configuration must be done in a coordinated way by using both System Administrator and Laboratory Supervisor user roles.

Creating a request with an automatic test

Adding an automatic test to a request

Once the System Administrator has enabled the Bluetooth functionality, and the Laboratory Supervisor has created an automatic kind of test (e.g., for Malaria), the Laboratory Technician can freely choose this in any request. Notice that a kind of test being declared to be automatic, just means that this option is enabled. However, the Laboratory Technician can still disable it for any concrete request. If disabled, the test becomes a regular one and its result must be manually provided.

It is important to notice that for the automatic test to work, the corresponding pre-trained neural network should have been made available in the Internet and downloaded in the ARIS instance.

Downloading and analyzing images

Finding the validation letter

The automatic analysis of images by means of artificial intelligence requires the interaction of the Mobile App and ARIS, as shown in the video under these lines. First of all the mobile and the computer hosting ARIS must have been paired, and ARIS properly configured. Then, the mobile app should download the worklist from ARIS by clicking the button NEW WORKLIST, and choosing the right Bloetooth device (i.e., DESKTOP-RJEMUQ2 in the video, but this identified will change from one computer to another). Notice that this is completely transparent to ARIS graphical interface and its user should not notice it. Nevertheless, ARIS should be up and running, and its Bluetooth functionality enabled to be able to send the corresponding information in the background. In the video, we see that only one test (i.e., 231016R000101) is in the list, but in general, there could be many.

Next step is to use the mobile phone to take the images. This can be done immediately after downloading a worklist, but also if the worklist that was downloaded previously (use the SAVED WORKLIST button in this case). In any case, we should choose the test to perform from the available worklist. As before, in this video we see only one test, but in general we will see many. To avoid mistakes, the mobile app will require a control letter to proceed (i.e., "E" in the video). This letter should have been previously annotated in the slide together with the corresponding ID, and can be obtained from ARIS as circled in the figure.

Manually introducing values in an automatic test

Any test that has been defined as automatic can be redefined as not. Both Laboratory Technician before introducing results or the Laboratory Supervisor once introduced, on validating them, can do this. When the corresponding tick is removed, the test does not accept images anymore, and its results can be introduced manually as for any other test.
