The dipstick is the standardized way to test urine: you pee into a cup, then dip the stick into the cup. Boxes on the stick change color based on what's in the urine. A certain box changes shade for an excess of proteins, another changes for the number of leukocytes. Problem is, there's no standard dipstick: different dipsticks change different colors. And they're not always easy to read with the naked eye. Just in case, their needle-free test for haemoglobin is well known now - http://www.biosense.in/

This doesn't seem to make sense because if you have a tiny gadget the results could be displayed on the gadget itself. I don't see a need for a separate phone to view the results. Of course, you may have the option of uploading the results on a secure cloud storage (like DropBox, Mega etc.) and therefore you can view it from any device (not just phone).

Of course , if it is just storage, cloud can be used but an app is more useful in terms of analysis.

You have a separate gadget which analyzes your urine and shows the results while providing an option to securely upload the result to a cloud based storage. What other functions a phone app could do? You ultimately would like to know the results and if they are abnormal against each range. This is a simple range check which can be easily programmed into any device no matter how tiny it may be.
urbestfriend Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 ^ For starter, if phone app is integrated with gadget, it can run an analysis on the data available to show what could be possibly wrong ( possible diagnosis based on the reading etc). Also an app could maintain history of the readings, variations of range with respect to food intake etc which would help a patient to make dietary decisions.. Data and storage are one aspect, but information on a handy device like phone is much more helpful..
