Background:

  • Smartphone-based digital image colorimetry offers a rapid, cost-effective method for analyte detection.
  • Detection accuracy is often compromised by variable lighting conditions and camera parameters across different devices.
  • This limits the widespread applicability of smartphone colorimetry in diverse real-world scenarios.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an Android application (SMP-CC) for robust smartphone-based digital image colorimetry.
  • To implement an algorithm capable of correcting for variations in lighting and smartphone camera specifications.
  • To validate the application's performance in detecting common urine analytes.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an Android application (SMP-CC) integrating image acquisition, color correction, and analysis.
  • Utilization of a custom color card and a built-in algorithm to minimize color differences against standard values.
  • Verification of the algorithm's efficacy in reducing impacts from external lighting and device variations.
  • Testing the application's feasibility for colorimetric detection of urine pH, glucose, and protein.

Main Results:

  • The SMP-CC application successfully minimized color differences to less than 4.36 compared to a standard colorimeter.
  • The integrated algorithm effectively eliminated the influence of ambient lighting and smartphone model differences.
  • Feasibility was demonstrated through accurate colorimetric detection of urine pH, glucose, and protein.

Conclusions:

  • The developed SMP-CC application provides a reliable and accurate platform for smartphone-based digital image colorimetry.
  • The algorithm effectively addresses key challenges related to lighting and device variability, expanding potential applications.
  • SMP-CC shows significant potential for low-cost, accessible point-of-care diagnostics using smartphones.
