At Medipee, we have developed a technology that connects a smart platform—our Uroli app—with a digital analysis device that attaches to the outside of your home toilet. The device detects when urine flows, extends a sensor to guide a test strip into the urine stream, and performs an automatic analysis of relevant parameters. The results are then sent to the app on your smartphone, tablet, or computer, where they are systematically evaluated using an algorithm.
Two parameters simultaneously—flexible according to application goal
We currently analyze two parameters in parallel. From a continuously growing range of analysis data, you can select according to your application interest, and the associated content in our app is also tailored to the respective condition. For example, those interested in kidney stone prevention measure specific gravity and pH value and find extensive background information in Uroli about the formation and prevention of stone disease. Those who wish to prevent recurrent urinary tract infections regularly analyze leukocytes and nitrite and can read everything relevant about urinary tract infections in the Vivoli app.
Why at-home analysis makes a difference
Many urological conditions can be assessed much more effectively through regular, low-threshold analyses than through occasional doctor visits every few months. This is precisely where we come in: The analysis happens incidentally during normal toilet use, without pipetting, without holding test strips, without additional time investment. This creates a data trail that, together with your treating physician, allows for much more precise decisions—from stone prevention to therapy monitoring to early detection of developing infections.
Uroli and Mikta—two components, one goal
Uroli is not our only offering: In addition, we provide Mikta, an app for a digital drinking and voiding diary, in which you can document your drinking behavior and toilet visits yourself. While Mikta focuses on consciously recording your own behavior, Uroli handles the automatic analysis of urine at the toilet. Depending on the question at hand, the two tools complement each other—and can also be used in combination when you and your treatment team wish to gain a more comprehensive picture of bladder activity.
