Reportedly students of Indian institute of technology Bombay have developed a smartphone application for urine test with a medical technology company— Biosense Technologies . The technology is able to detect 10 analytes or components in urine such as glucose, protein, ketones, blood, bilirubin, urobilinogen, pH, specific gravity, leukocytes and nitrites. The fluctuation of these levels, when compared to a standard, is what is used to diagnose if a patient is healthy or suffering from a disease.
What you need to do is to purchase a urine dipstick, available at local pharmacy at Rs 3 per piece and the UChek colour mat which comes in the kit. The user must dip the dipstick in the urine sample for two seconds and place the dipstick in the colour mat. Once the colour is determined, the user opens the application on the phone, takes a picture of the colour mat and checks the results. The app provides the results of the levels of each analyse as well as advice about if one needs to visit a doctor or eat more greens.
This smartphone app is able to detect up to 25 diseases that include diabetes, nephropathy, diabeticketoacidosis, cancers of the urinary tract, urinary tract infections, liver disorders like cirrhosis, obstructive jaundice, preeclampsia and gestational diabetes in pregnancy, etc.
This app will go live in last week of March.
