Abstract
A method for predicting risk of a future disease condition includes the steps of collecting and transporting bodily fluid to at least one colorimetric analyte sensing element, detecting the presence of bodily fluid, collecting optical data relating to the at least one colorimetric analyte sensing element with at least one spectrophotometer after a predetermined time period after detecting the presence of bodily fluid in contact with the colorimetric analyte sensing element, communicating the optical data to a computing system having at least one processor and data storage, analyzing the optical data to determine at least one analyte concentration in the bodily fluid, identifying a threshold analyte concentration of the at least one analyte in the bodily fluid that is an indicator of the risk of developing a future disease condition; and recording the at least one analyte concentration in the bodily fluid over time.
