Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9743453A1] A method and apparatus for collecting medical data from a test subject while preserving anonymity for the test subject. The method includes steps of collecting a sample from the test subject and taking biometric data from the test subject. The biometric data permit a high order of probability of correlation of the test subject with the sample and with test results derived from the sample. The method desirably further includes a step of providing the test subject with a unique correlating code also for permitting unique correlation of the test subject with the sample and with test results derived from the sample, and further desirably includes a step of labeling the sample with information including the biometric data.
