Proposed device relates to technique for rapid quantification of multiple clinically important nutrients in biological fluids for timely interventions. The 3-tiered solution proposes: 1. Colorimetry based estimation of multi-nutrients on single test strip 2. Accurate quantification by a smartphone app 3. Cloud based data collection and analytical reporting for establishing PoC diagnosis.
