mHealth Urine Analysis System ( Android OS / Windows) The mobile enabled urine analysis device can be used to detect 10 parameters in urine such as Blood (RBC), Nitrite, Protean, Bilirubin, Urobiliogin. It can help detect 70 posible symptoms. It uses reflectance photometers that analyze the intensity and color of light reflected from the reagent areas of a urinalysis reagent strip. The urine Analyzer is half the size and cost of existing systems and provides comparative results to FDA approved systems. The data from the portable device is displayed on the device and a detailed report is available from the android mobile phone.
To perform urine analysis , most laboratories in developing countries use commercially prepared dipsticts’. When a dipstick is briefly, but completely, dipped into urine, the test pads absorb the urine and a chemical reaction changes the color of the pad within seconds to minutes. Dipstick urinalysis (DUA) is one of the cornerstones of point of care testing (POCT): relatively inexpensive, robust, easy to perform, painless to the patient, and available worldwide. Since the inception of the Clinistix (Ames Co, Elkhart, IN, USA) in 1956, DUA has been a staple for community health and preoperative screening and in the workup of urinary tract and systemic diseases.
However, the real clinical utility of DUA is more often assumed than proven. In addition, recent advances in technology have introduced the ability to perform more advanced automated testing the takes the guesswork out of testing.
