Abstract:

A pathogen detection device is provided. The pathogen detection device may include a pathogen detector circuit configured to detect a target analyte in a patient sample, determine the presence of a pathogen from the target analyte, and generate a detection result including the identity of the pathogen and resistance genes (if any); and a decision support generator circuit configured to generate decision support information for the pathogen by application of user configurable rules to the detection result, wherein each of the configurable rules include a logic expression that indicates the corresponding decision support information of the rule to be included in the detection report.
