1. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
memory containing instructions to configure the at least one processor to perform the steps of:
receiving, from a first health communication device in a first location over a communication network, a first health record, the first health record including first wavelength measurements generated by a first spectrometer, the first spectrometer having generated the first wavelength measurements based on absorption and transmittance of a first light projected through a biological sample of a first patient;
comparing the first wavelength measurements to a set of reference measurements;
when a subset of the first wavelength measurements match or exceed at least a subset of the set of reference measurements, providing a first message to the first health communication device over the communication network, the first message indicating presence of a pathogen in the biological sample of the first patient;
receiving, from a second health communication device in a second location over the communication network, the second location being remote from the first location, a second health record, the second health record including second wavelength measurements generated by a second spectrometer, the second spectrometer having generated the second wavelength measurements based on absorption and transmittance of a second light projected through a biological sample of a second patient;
comparing the second wavelength measurements to the set of reference measurements; and
when a subset of the second wavelength measurements match or exceed at least the subset of the set of reference measurements, providing a second message to the second health communication device over the communication network, the second message indicating presence of a pathogen in the first biological sample of the first patient.
