Zusammenfassung:A method is disclosed for determining concentration of an analyte in a body fluid with a mobile device having a camera. The camera captures an image of an optical test strip having a test field. The analyte concentration value is determined from color formation of the test field. Provided in the mobile device is a correlation for transforming color formation of the test field into analyte concentration. Also provided in the mobile device is an item of clearance information indicating a level of confidence for the correlation. When the item of clearance information indicates a sufficient level of confidence for the correlation, the mobile device indicates to a user that the capturing of the image does not require using a color reference card. Further disclosed are a method of controlling analytical measurements, a mobile device, a system for controlling analytical measurements and computer programs for performing and/or controlling analytical measurements.
