1. A method for improving accuracy of an assay in detecting,
using an assay device, an analyte in or suspected of being in a sample, wherein the assay device or an operation of the assay device has one or more parameters each having a random variation, the method comprising:
(a) detecting, using the assay device, the analyte, comprising:
(i) placing the sample into the assay device; and
(ii) measuring, using the assay device, the analyte in the sample, to generate a detection result; and
(b) determining trustworthiness of the detection result in step (a), comprising:
(i) imaging, using an imager, one or more images of at least a part of the sample and/or at least part of the assay device, wherein the images substantially represent the conditions under which the at least a part of the sample is measured in generating the detection result in step (a); and
(ii) determining a trustworthiness of the detection result in step (a) by using an algorithm to analyze the images and one or more parameters, to generate a trustworthy score.
