SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A TIMING OF CONSECUTIVE BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES

System (10) for controlling a timing of consecutive biological samples (s0, s1) from a patient for a medical test (T), comprising:

• • a registration device (30), configured for determining a patient id (PID) indicating an identity of the patient, and a first sample time point (t0) indicating a time of obtaining a first biological sample (s0) from the patient at a first time point (t0);
  • a processing system (20), communicatively connected to the registration device (30), configured for
    • receiving the patient id (PID) and the first sample time point (t0) from the registration device (30);
    • determining a protocol rule (R) for the medical test (T) relating to timing requirements of obtaining biological samples (s0, s1) from the patient depending on the medical test (T); and
    • determining a sample timing dependent on the protocol rule (R) and the first sample time point (t0), indicating when to obtain a second biological sample (s1) from the patient in compliance with the protocol rule (R).
